Aluminum trichloride hexahydrate

Description:
Aluminum trichloride hexahydrate, with the CAS number 7784-13-6, is a hydrated form of aluminum chloride. It typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water. The hexahydrate form contains six water molecules per formula unit, which contributes to its hygroscopic nature, allowing it to absorb moisture from the environment. This compound is commonly used in various applications, including as a catalyst in organic synthesis, in the production of aluminum metal, and in water treatment processes. In terms of chemical properties, it can dissociate in solution to release aluminum ions and chloride ions, which can participate in various chemical reactions. Aluminum trichloride hexahydrate is also known for its ability to form complexes with other substances, enhancing its utility in coordination chemistry. However, it should be handled with care, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this compound.
