Iron(III) chloride, FeCl3, also known as ferric chloride, is commodity chemical. As the hydrated salt (nominally a hexahydrate, FeCl3·6H2O), it is used in water purification and as an etchant for printed circuit boards.[2] The anhydrous compound is a moderately strong Lewis acid and is used in organic synthesis.

Notes and references

Notes

  1. ↑ An alternative GHS classification from the Japanese GHS Inter-ministerial Committee (2006)[4] notes the possibility of respiratory tract irritation from FeCl3 and differs slightly in other respects from the classification used here.
