Structural formula: 

Product Description：Anhydrous aluminum chloride is a highly efficient and versatile chemical widely used in various industries. It is an orange-yellow to light yellow crystalline powder. In industrial products, due to the presence of impurities such as iron and free chlorine, the color may change from light yellow, yellow-green or red-brown. Anhydrous aluminum chloride is easily soluble in water, the solution is acidic, and it can be dissolved in a variety of organic solvents such as ethanol, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ether, etc., and slightly soluble in benzene. Its vapor exists in the form of covalent dimer molecules (Al2Cl6) in non-polar solvents or in a molten state.

Application areas and used:

1. Organic synthesis catalyst: Anhydrous aluminum chloride is widely used as a catalyst in industries such as petroleum cracking, synthetic dyes, synthetic rubber, synthetic detergents, medicines, fragrances and lubricants.

2. Pesticide and organoaluminum compound manufacturing: As a catalyst for pesticides, organoaluminum compounds, and phthalocyanine organic pigments, anhydrous aluminum chloride plays an important role. At the same time, it is also an important catalyst for the manufacture of ethylbenzene.

3. Metal smelting and lubricant synthesis: In the process of metal smelting and lubricant synthesis, anhydrous aluminum chloride also performs well.

4. Food industry: Food-grade anhydrous aluminum chloride can be used as a leavening agent, anti-discoloration agent such as sake, and a flocculant for pectin. Its usage is ≤0.1g/L (anhydrous) or ≤0.18g/L (hexahydrate).

5. Analytical reagents, preservatives and mordants: Anhydrous aluminum chloride is used as a reagent in analytical chemistry, and can also be used as a preservative and mordant, with a wide range of application value.

Anhydrous aluminum chloride is not only an important catalyst in organic synthesis, but also has a wide range of applications in many industries such as medicine, pesticides, dyes, spices, metallurgy, plastics and lubricants, showing its irreplaceable position and versatility.
