CAS 10025-91-9: Antimony trichloride

Description:Antimony trichloride, with the chemical formula SbCl3 and CAS number 10025-91-9, is an inorganic compound characterized by its white to yellowish crystalline appearance. It is a covalent compound that exhibits a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry. Antimony trichloride is highly soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ether but has limited solubility in water. It is known for its Lewis acid properties, making it a useful catalyst in various organic reactions, particularly in Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation processes. The compound can release hydrochloric acid upon hydrolysis, which can lead to the formation of antimony oxides. Antimony trichloride is also utilized in the production of flame retardants and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. However, it is important to handle this substance with care, as it can be toxic and irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this chemical.
