Description

Samarium(III) chloride hydrate is used for the preparation of samarium metal, which finds use as magnets. It is combined with sodium chloride to get a low melting point eutectic mixture. Further, it serves as a precursor for the preparation of other samarium salts and bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)alkylsamarium(III) complexes. In addition, it serves as a catalyst for hydrogenation and hydrosilylation of alkenes.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
