tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry
.
[1]
Synthesis
[
edit
]
Curium(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 → CmCl
3
+ H
2
O
It can also be obtained from the dissolution of metallic curium in dilute
hydrochloric acid
:
[2]
- 2Cm + 6HCl → 2CmCl
3
+ 3H
2
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 CdCl
2
→ 2 CmCl
3
+ Cd
