Trichloroiridium trihydrate(CAS: 13569-57-8)

Trichloroiridium trihydrate is a compound with the chemical formula IrCl3·3H2O. It is an orange-brown solid with a characteristic odor. This compound is soluble in water and less soluble in organic solvents.

Trichloroiridium trihydrate is primarily used in the synthesis of various iridium compounds, as a catalyst in certain organic reactions, and in the preparation of iridium-containing materials for industrial applications. It is also used in research for studying iridium chemistry.

Trichloroiridium trihydrate is not considered inherently dangerous, but it can be toxic if ingested or inhaled. Proper handling should be followed, including the use of protective gloves and eyewear. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and ensure good ventilation during use.

Trichloroiridium trihydrate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Store it at room temperature (15-25°C) and avoid exposure to temperatures above 30°C. Maintain a relative humidity below 50% to prevent degradation of the compound.
