Actinium chloride, AcCl3, is the only known binary chloride of actinium. It has been prepared (on a 10-µg scale) by the reaction of actinium hydroxide with carbon tetrachloride at 960 °C.[4][5]

2Ac(OH)3 + 3CCl4 → 2AcCl3 + 3CO2 + 6HCl

It reacts with water vapour at 1000 °C to give the oxochloride.[4][5]

Notes and references

Notes

  1. The molar mass is based on actinium-227 (t½ = 21.772(3) a; Ar = 227.027 7521(26)),[2] the most commonly encountered isotope of actinium and the one used in the original chemical studies.[3][4]
