Rhodium (III) chloride trihydrate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Rhodium trichloride is an odourless, red-brown to black crystalline powder. It is corrosive to steel and aluminium. It is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture or water from the air. It is incompatible with strong oxidising agents. On decomposition, rhodium trichloride emits hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and rhodium/rhodium oxides.

Chemical Properties

Rhodium trichloride is a red-brown or black, odorless solid or liquid

Potential Exposure

Rhodium trichloride is used in hydro- silylation, hydrogenation, carbonylation, oxidation, aryla- tion. See also “Rhodium Metal.” In plating operations and in catalyst preparation, the metal will be used as the trichloride.

Shipping

UN3260 Corrosive solid, acidic, inorganic, n.o.s., Hazard class: 8; Labels: 8-Corrosive material, Technical Name Required.

Incompatibilities

Sensitive to humidity. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materi- als, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, and epoxides.

Waste Disposal

Recovery and reclaiming wherever possible in view of high economic value. See “Rhodium Metal.”
