Introduction to Cerous Chloride
Cerium chloride usually refers to cerium (III) trichloride, including anhydrous cerium chloride and its hydrates. The structure of the anhydrous substance (CAS 7790-86-5) is similar to uranium trichloride, soluble in water and ethanol, and insoluble in carbon tetrachloride and benzene. Among its hexahydrate (CAS 16651-27-7) and heptahydrate (CAS 18618-55-8), heptahydrate is a colorless triclinic crystal that is easily soluble in water and alcohol.
