Chemical compound

Lutetium(III) chloride or lutetium trichloride is the chemical compound composed of lutetium and chlorine with the formula LuCl3. It forms hygroscopic white monoclinic crystals. Lutetium(III) chloride has the YCl3 (AlCl3) layer structure with octahedral lutetium ions.

Reactions

Pure lutetium metal can be produced from lutetium(III) chloride by heating it together with elemental calcium:

2LuCl3 + 3Ca → 2Lu + 3CaCl2
