Detailed Introduction
Cerium(III) chloride, also known as cerous chloride, is a chemical compound with the formula CeCl3. It is a solid compound that is often yellow or white in color, depending on its hydration state. Cerium(III) chloride can exist in both anhydrous form (CeCl3) and several hydrated forms, such as CeCl3·7H2O and CeCl3·2H2O.Cerium(III) chloride is highly soluble in water, and when it dissolves, it forms a yellow solution. It is widely used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis. It is also employed in cerium chemistry and as a precursor for other cerium compounds.However, it is important to note that cerium(III) chloride is toxic and corrosive. Therefore, proper safety precautions should be taken when handling and working with this compound.
