General description

Erbium (III) chloride hexahydrate is a pinkishcrystalline hydrate with unique magnetic and optical properties. It is soluble inwater. It is widely used in the fieldof optical fibers, luminescent devices, and organic synthesis. Its capacity for catalysis is enhanced by the dual Lewis acid and basebehavior.

Application

Erbium(III) chloride hexahydrate can be used:
  • As a chemical vapor deposition(CVD) precursor to fabricate erbium oxide thin films with high dielectric constant.
  • As a dopant to prepare specialty silica optical fibers.
  • As a catalyst for the rapid stereoselective synthesis of trans-4,5-diaminocyclopent-2-enones.
  • To fabricate a hybrid Erbium bis(pentafluorophenyl)phosphinate with long-lived infrared luminescence.

The rare earth elements impact nearly everyone in the world. All of the people living in advanced technological countries and almost all those living in third world countries utilize the rare earths in their everyday living—the car that one drives (gasoline is refined from oil using rare earth catalysts and catalytic converters reduce the polluting emissions from the automotive exhaust), watching the news on TV (the red and green colors in TV screens), the telephones and computers we use to communicate (the permanent magnets in speakers and disc drives), just to name a few examples.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
