Merck, 254142-25G, Bismuth(III) chloride

General description
Bismuth(III) chloride is a Lewis acid catalyst and a common source of Bi³⁺ ions used in various organic transformations and synthesis of bismuth nanomaterials.
Application
Bismuth(III) chloride can be used:As a precursor to prepare polyaniline and bismuth(III) telluride nanohybrids with high thermoelectric performance.
As a starting material to synthesize visible light absorbing double perovskite semiconductors, such as Cs₂AgBiBr₆ and Cs₂AgBiCl₆, eco-friendly alternative to the lead halide perovskites.
To form a protective layer on anode materials.
It can also be used as an efficient catalyst for green synthesis of:Chalcones by Claisen–Schmidt reaction under solvent-free conditions.
One-pot three-component synthesis of Propargylamines.
Coumarins via ultrasound‐assisted Pechmann condensation of phenols with β‐ketoesters.
