New Approaches to the Study of Lanthanide/Actinide Chloride - Aluminum Chloride Vapor Phase Complexes

  • Chapter
The Rare Earths in Modern Science and Technology

Abstract

Recent interest in vapor phase complexes of lanthanide and actinide halides with aluminum halides has been focused on their dynamic optical properties, since these systems have potential as optical gain media. In addition, their thermodynamic properties indicate that elemental separation by chemical transport is potentially viable. The reaction for gas complexation is generally written as follows for lanthanide chlorides and aluminum chloride

$$ mLnCly\left( c \right) + nA{l_2}C{l_6}\left( g \right) \rightleftarrows L{n_m}A{l_2}_nC{l_{6n + my}}\left( g \right) $$
