Einsteinium(III) chloride is a chloride of einsteinium.

Preparation

Einsteinium(III) chloride is created by reacting einsteinium metal with dry hydrogen chloride gas for 20 minutes at 500 °C which crystallized around 425 °C.[1]

2 Es + 6 HCl → 2 EsCl3 + 3 H2

Chemical properties

The compound can be reduced by H2 to obtain EsCl2.[2][3]

2 EsCl3 + H2 → 2 EsCl2 + 2 HCl
