The Uses of SCANDIUM CHLORIDE

Scandium chloride (ScCl3): Sc³⁺ + 3Cl^1- → ScCl3. As mentioned, this compound is used in an electrolytic procedure to produce metallic scandium.

The Uses of SCANDIUM CHLORIDE

Scandium(III) chloride is a Prins cyclization catalyst. Used to form an intermetallic nickel-scandium compound film by potentiostatic cathodic reduction from molten salt mixtures.

The Uses of SCANDIUM CHLORIDE

ScCl₃ can be used in the preparation of lithium salt of anionic scandium tetraborohydride complex (LiSc(BH₄)₄) by forming a ball-milled mixture. LiSc(BH₄)₄ can be used as a potential hydrogen storage material.

What are the applications of Application

Scandium(III) chloride is a Prins cyclization catalyst

General Description

Scandium(III) chloride (ScCl₃) is a scandium halide that can be formed by dissolving scandium oxide in an acid solution and evaporating the resultant solution to dryness.
