Scandium chloride, is an important compound of the rare - earth element scandium.

Physical Properties
Anhydrous scandium chloride is a white or slightly yellowish crystalline powder. It has a relatively high melting point of about 960°C and a boiling point of around 1345°C.
It is highly soluble in water, and in aqueous solution, it dissociates into scandium ions (Sc³) and chloride ions (Cl). The aqueous solution is weakly acidic due to the hydrolysis of scandium ions. Scandium chloride can also react with some ligands to form coordination compounds. It can participate in various chemical reactions under appropriate conditions, such as reactions with metal oxides or other salts.

Production Process
Usually, scandium - containing ores or concentrates are first processed to obtain scandium - rich intermediates. Then, these intermediates are reacted with hydrochloric acid. For example, if scandium oxide (Sc2O3) is used, the reaction equation is Sc2O3 + 6HCl = 2ScCl3 + 3H2O.
The reaction is carried out under appropriate temperature and pressure conditions. After the reaction is complete, the solution is evaporated, concentrated, and crystallized to obtain the hydrate of scandium chloride. To obtain anhydrous scandium chloride, the hydrate needs to be dehydrated under a suitable atmosphere, often in a hydrogen - chloride - containing atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis.

Application Areas
Materials Science
Scandium chloride is widely used in the preparation of high - performance aluminum - based alloys. Adding a small amount of scandium chloride can significantly improve the strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys. These alloys are widely used in the aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries. In addition, it is also used in the preparation of some special ceramics and composite materials to improve their mechanical and thermal properties.
Catalysis
In the field of catalysis, scandium chloride can act as a catalyst or a component of a catalyst system. It shows catalytic activity in some organic - synthesis reactions, such as esterification reactions, Friedel - Crafts reactions, and hydrogenation reactions. It can promote the progress of reactions by providing active centers or affecting the reaction mechanism, thereby improving the reaction rate and selectivity.
Optoelectronic Devices
It is used in the preparation of some optoelectronic materials. For example, scandium - doped semiconductors have unique optical and electrical properties, which are of great significance for the development of high - performance light - emitting diodes, laser diodes, and other optoelectronic devices.

Packaging and Storage
Scandium chloride is usually packaged in sealed plastic or glass bottles for laboratory - scale products. For industrial - scale products, they are often packaged in plastic - lined iron drums or large - capacity plastic containers to ensure the quality and stability of the product during storage and transportation.
It should be stored in a dry and cool environment to avoid contact with moisture and water vapor, which can cause hydrolysis of the compound. It should be stored separately from oxidizing agents and other substances that may react with it to ensure storage safety.
