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[3] and also a hydroscopic hexahydrate LuCl3·6H2O.[6] Anhydrous lutetium(III) chloride has the YCl3 (AlCl3) layer structure with octahedral lutetium ions.[7]

Reactions[]

Pure lutetium metal can be produced from lutetium(III) chloride by heating it together with elemental calcium: [8]

2 LuCl3 + 3 Ca → 2 Lu + 3 CaCl2
