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.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives. This is an enabling product and can be used as a precursor to make perovskite oxides, which promote thermoelectric heat-to-electricity conversion, improving energy efficiency. Click here for more information.

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.
