Basic Information
Chemical Formula: GdCl3
English Name: Gadolinium chloride
CAS Number: 10125-87-8 (anhydrous gadolinium chloride); 13450-84-5 (gadolinium chloride hexahydrate)
Appearance: Anhydrous gadolinium chloride is a white powder, and gadolinium chloride hexahydrate is a colorless or slightly light - pink monoclinic crystal.
Molecular Weight: 263.60 (anhydrous); 371.69 (hexahydrate)
Physicochemical Properties
Density: The relative density is approximately 4.52 (anhydrous, 25ºC)
Melting Point: Approximately 609ºC (anhydrous)
Solubility: It is highly soluble in water, and its aqueous solution is weakly acidic. It is also soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol. Gadolinium chloride hexahydrate gradually loses its water of crystallization when heated.
Uses
Medical Field: In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), complexes of gadolinium chloride are often used as contrast agents. They can enhance the image contrast, helping doctors to observe the internal structures of the human body more clearly and assisting in disease diagnosis.
Materials Science: It is used for the preparation of other gadolinium compounds and functional materials containing gadolinium, such as in optical and magnetic materials.
Scientific Research Experiments: As a chemical reagent in scientific research experiments, it is a commonly used substance for studying the chemical properties of rare - earth elements and related reactions.
Storage Method
It should be stored in a sealed container in a cool and dry place, away from moisture and contact with strong oxidants. Anhydrous gadolinium chloride is highly hygroscopic, so the humidity of the storage environment needs to be more strictly controlled.
Packaging
There are generally various packaging specifications. For example, vacuum packaging is commonly available in specifications such as 1 kg and 5 kg. Cardboard drums are also used for packaging, with a specification of 25 kg, etc. Customized packaging can also be provided according to customer requirements.
