Structure
editCurium(III) chloride has a 9 coordinate tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry.[1]
Synthesis
editCurium(III) chloride can be obtained from the reaction of hydrogen chloride gas with curium dioxide, curium(III) oxide, or curium(III) oxychloride at a temperature of 400-600 °C:
- CmOCl + 2HCl → CmCl3 + H2O
It can also be obtained from the dissolution of metallic curium in dilute hydrochloric acid:[2]
- 2Cm + 6HCl → 2CmCl3 + 3H2
This method has a number of disadvantages associated with the ongoing processes of hydrolysis and hydration of the resulting compound in an aqueous solution, making it problematic to obtain a pure product using this reaction.
It can be obtained from the reaction of curium nitride with cadmium chloride:[3]
- 2 CmN + 3 CdCl2 → 2 CmCl3 + Cd3N2
