Product name: anhydrous ferric chloride 98%

Chemical name: Iron(III) chloride

Iron(III) chloride describes the inorganic compounds. Also called ferric chloride, these compounds are some of the most important and commonplace compounds of iron. The anhydrous compound is a hygroscopic crystalline solid with a melting point of 307.6 °C. The colour depends on the viewing angle: by reflected light, the crystals appear dark green, but by transmitted light, they appear purple-red. Anhydrous iron(III) chloride has the BiI3 structure, with octahedral Fe(III) centres interconnected by two-coordinate chloride ligands.
