Iridium(III) Chloride Trihydrate
Iridium(III) chloride trihydrate (CAS 13569-57-8; IrCl₃·3H₂O; formula Cl₃H₆IrO₃; 352.62 g/mol) is a hydrated iridium(III) salt and a source of Ir(III) for inorganic and precious-metal chemistry.
Its principal role is as a precursor for preparing iridium coordination compounds and other iridium-containing materials. Solubility and reactivity depend on the solvent and intended chemistry; the AI Mode answer notes poor or limited solubility in cold water, so compatibility should be checked against supplier specifications rather than assumed. Confirm the stated assay, hydration state, and impurity limits for the specific lot. This is a specialty chemical for industrial or laboratory materials work, not a medicine, nutritional ingredient, or cosmetic active. Follow the supplier’s SDS and handling, storage, and metal-containing waste requirements.
– **Iridium-complex synthesis:** Used as an Ir(III) starting material in the preparation of iridium coordination compounds and related precious-metal complexes. Suitability depends on the target chemistry, solvent, and required metal purity; verify compatibility and assay against the supplier’s lot documentation.
– **Catalyst development:** May serve as an iridium precursor in catalyst preparation and evaluation, including research on catalytic systems. Its use as a precursor does not establish that a particular catalyst is active, selective, or commercially qualified; performance must be established for the specific formulation and application.
