使用Bismuth trichloride used as catalyst for organic reactions.

一般的な説明Bismuth(III) chloride is an inorganic salt that can be prepared by the reaction of bismuth with chlorine.

製造方法Bismuth chloride may be synthesized directly by passing chlorine over bismuth. Alternatively, the chloride salt may be prepared by adding hydrochloric acid to basic bismuth chloride and evaporating the solution:Bi(OH)2Cl + 2HCl → BiCl3 + 2H2OAlso, the compound can be prepared by dissolving bismuth in concentrated nitric acid and then adding solid sodium chloride into this solution. Another method of preparation is treating the metal with concentrated hydrochloric acid:2Bi + 6HCl → 2BiCl3 + 3H2.

純化方法Sublime the trichloride under high vacuum, or dry it under a current of HCl gas, followed by fractional distillation, once under HCl and once under argon. It is deliquescent. [Schenk in Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Academic Press Vol I p 621 1963.]
