''' Europium(III) chloride''' is an ] with the formula EuCl<sub>3</sub>. The ] compound is a yellow solid. Being ] it rapidly absorbs water to form a white crystalline ], EuCl<sub>3</sub>·6H<sub>2</sub>O, which is colourless. The compound is used in research.

==Preparation==
Treating ] with aqueous ] produces hydrated europium chloride (EuCl<sub>3</sub>·6H<sub>2</sub>O). This salt cannot be rendered anhydrous by heating. Instead one obtains an ].
Anhydrous EuCl<sub>3</sub> is often prepared by the "] route," starting from either Eu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub><ref>

:EuCl<sub>3</sub>·6H<sub>2</sub>O + ''2'' NH<sub>4</sub>Cl → (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> + 6 H<sub>2</sub>O

The pentachloride ] according to the following equation:
