An Overview of Antimony Trichloride

Antimony Trichloride can be described as an inorganic antimony compound that is used in organic synthesis as an agent for chlorination, as well as for various industrial processes. The compound is known by its Lewis acid properties as well as its Reactivity. Antimony Trichloride can be extensively used in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and specialized syntheses.

The compound is visible in the form of a pale to colorless yellow crystalline solid or an oily yellow liquid (when there is moisture). Its characteristics -- a strong Lewis acidity, the chlorinating property, as well as moisture sensitivities make it useful in industrial and organic chemistry applications.

Other related products include Antimony Pentoxide, Phosphorus Trichloride, and various chemicals used to chlorinate chemical synthesis in industrial settings.
