Terbium(III) chloride (TbCl3) is a chemical compound. In the solid state TbCl3 has the YCl3 layer structure.[2] Terbium(III) chloride frequently forms a hexahydrate.

Preparation

The hexahydrate of terbium(III) chloride can be obtained by the reaction of terbium(III) oxide and hydrochloric acid:[3]

Tb2O3 + 6 HCl → 2 TbCl3 + 3 H2O

It can also be obtained by direct reaction of the elements:[4]

2 Tb + 3 Cl2 → 2 TbCl3

Properties

Terbium(III) chloride is a white,

orthorhombic plutonium(III) bromide crystal structure with space group Cmcm (No. 63).[6][7] It can form a complex Tb(gly)3Cl3·3H2O with glycine.[8]

Applications

Terbium(III) chloride is used in the

solid-state devices.[10]

Hazards

Terbium(III) chloride causes

hyperemia of the iris.[11]
Conditions/substances to avoid are: heat, acids and acid fumes.
