General description

Scandium(III) chloride (ScCl3) is a scandium halide that can be formed by dissolving scandium oxide in an acid solution and evaporating the resultant solution to dryness.

Application

ScCl3 can be used in the preparation of lithium salt of anionic scandium tetraborohydride complex (LiSc(BH4)4) by forming a ball-milled mixture. LiSc(BH4)4 can be used as a potential hydrogen storage material.
