Bismuth trichloride also unites with quinoline and pyridine. Quino-lino-bismuth chloride, [Bi(C9H7N)]Cl3, is obtained as a white crystalline mass on mixing the chloride with the base. This derivative is only slowly decomposed by water and is not deliquescent.3 Bismuth chloride and pyridine form a white compound of composition BiCl3.l-5(CsH5N) or 2BiCl3.3(C5H5N) on adding pyridine to an ethereal solution of bismuth chloride,4 or it may be formed from an acetone solution of the chloride and excess of pyridine.3 It is a white crystalline powder, fairly stable towards water, and only attacked slowly by hydrochloric acid. Aqueous sodium hydroxide quickly decomposes the additive compound. 

Bismuth trichloride readily forms addition compounds, e.g. BiCl3(NH3)3, BiCl3(NO), BiCl3(N02)2, BiCl2(NOCI). These complexes are stable in dry air, but the ligands are displaced by water. It dissolves in organic solvents such as ether, probably forming etherates,... 

Bismuth trichloride is usually prepared by chlorination of the molten metal or by dissolving bismuth metal in aqua regia evaporation of the solution yields the bismuth trichloride dihydrate [66172-88-1], BiCl3 2H20, and upon distillation, it decomposes to give anhydrous bismuth trichloride. The commercial product frequently is not anhydrous. 

Bismuth trichloride shows considerable tendency to form addition compounds. Reaction with ammonia yields the colodess, easily volatilized bismuth trichloride triammine [66172-89-2], BiQ3 3NH3, as well as the red, thermally unstable bismuth trichloride hemiammine [66172-90-5], 2BiCl3 NH3. Compounds of formula BiCl3 NO, BiQ3 2N02, and BiCl3 NOQ maybe isolated these are stable in dry air but are decomposed by moisture. Bismuth... 

Bismuth trichloride differs from other EX3 compounds in being readily hydrolyzed by water to BiOCl, but this redissolves in concentrated aqueous HQ, and BiCl3 is recovered on evaporation. Antimony trichloride has somewhat similar behavior. 

The electrodeposition of bismuth, Bi, has been investigated in an acidic BPCl-AICI3 ionic liquid [30]. Bismuth trichloride, BiCl3, is soluble in the acidic ionic liquid forming a trivalent bismuth species, Bi(III), which can be reduced to a cluster...

Bonds to Halogens.— Two lines with markedly different temperature coefficients are observed in the C1 n.q.r. spectra of solid bismuth trichloride, probably as a result of volume effects associated with different intermolecular bonding. The Raman spectra of the solid and molten trichloride are markedly different, and the latter is best interpreted in terms of the presence of discrete molecules with symmetry. Addition of varying amounts of potassium or caesium chlorides gives BiCl and BiCl, with C v and Oj symmetry, respectively, but AICI4 ions are not produced when aluminium chloride is added, and the melt consists of BiCl3 and AI2CI8.
