Samarium(III) chloride hexahydrate Powder SmCl3 · 6H2O, CAS 13465-55-9
Samarium(III) chloride hexahydrate (SmCl3 · 6H2O) is a white crystalline powder with the chemical formula SmCl3 · 6H2O. It is a hydrated salt of samarium and chloride ions.
Samarium(III) chloride hexahydrate is used as a raw material for the production of other samarium compounds, and as a dopant in the production of optical fibers, lasers, and phosphors for lighting and display applications. It is also used in the preparation of various ceramic materials and in some organic synthesis reactions.
In addition to its industrial applications, samarium(III) chloride hexahydrate has some potential medical uses. It has been studied for its potential as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of certain cancers, particularly prostate cancer, and has been shown to have anti-tumor activity in some preclinical studies.
Application
Samarium Chloride has specialized uses in glass, phosphors, lasers, and thermoelectric devices. Samarium Chloride is used for the preparation of Samarium metal, which has a variety of uses, notably in magnets. Anhydrous SmCl3 is mixed with Sodium Chloride or Calcium Chloride to give a low melting point eutectic mixture. Electrolysis of this molten salt solution gives the free metal. Samarium Chloride can also be used as a starting point for the preparation of other Samarium salts.
