white to light yellow crystals with a hydrochloric acid flavor. Melting Point: about 230~232 °c; Boiling Point: 447 °c; d54. 75. Deliquescence. Soluble in hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate and other organic solvents. In water or ethanol solution is decomposed into bismuth oxychloride precipitation.
pure ammonia is introduced into the reaction equipment containing bismuth metal to remove air, and the equipment is dried at the same time. Then chlorine gas is introduced and the temperature is raised, and the bismuth chloride produced by the reaction is sublimated, the crude bismuth chloride can be obtained by cooling and condensation, and the crude product can be further purified by sublimation.
