Samarium oxychloride or samarium oxide chloride is an inorganic compound of samarium, oxygen, and chlorine with the chemical formula SmOCl. [1]

Contents

Synthesis

SmOCl can be synthesized by heating samarium oxide in a currect of chlorine. [2]

Physical properties

The compound forms white crystals of the tetragonal system [3] , space group P4/nmm. [4]

SmOCl thermally decomposes to form Sm2O3. [4]

Uses

SmOCl is investigated as a photocatalyst for environment remediation. [5] Also used as a catalyst. [6]
