Curium(III) chloride is the chemical compound with the formula CmCl3.
Curium(III) chloride has a 9 coordinate tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry.[1]
This method has a number of disadvantages associated with the ongoing processes of hydrolysis and hydration of the resulting compound in an aqueous solution. Thus, it is problematic to obtain a pure product using this reaction.
Curium(III) chloride can be prepared by the reaction of curium nitride with cadmium chloride.[3]
