Antimony Pentachloride
Antimony pentachloride (CAS 10025-91-1) is a corrosive, yellowish fuming liquid with formula SbCl₅ and MW 299.01. It functions as a potent Lewis acid and chlorinating agent in organic synthesis, dye manufacturing and polymerisation catalysis. It hydrolyzes vigorously with moisture, releasing hydrogen chloride fumes.
• Chlorinating agent: introduction of chlorine atoms into organic substrates under anhydrous conditions.
• Chemical manufacturing: intermediate compounds and halogenated derivatives.
• Lewis acid catalyst: acceleration of polymerisation and complex organic transformations.
• Analytical and metallurgical applications: chemical reagent and etchant modifier.
