Dysprosium(III) chloride (DyCl3), also known as dysprosium trichloride, is a compound of dysprosium and chlorine. It is a white to yellow solid which rapidly absorbs water on exposure to moist air to form a hexahydrate, DyCl3.6H2O. Simple rapid heating of the hydrate causes partial hydrolysis[1] to an oxychloride, DyOCl.

Chemical properties

Dysprosium(III) chloride is a moderately strong Lewis acid, which ranks as "hard" according to the Hard-Soft Acid-Base theory. Aqueous solutions of dysprosium chloride can be used to prepare insoluble dysprosium(III) compounds, for example dysprosium(III) fluoride: In chemistry, a Lewis acid is any acid that can accept a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond, after the American chemist Gilbert Lewis. ...

Dysprosium is a rare earth element that has a metallic, bright silver luster, relatively stable in air at room msds for dysprosium bromide temperature, but dissolving readily msds for dysprosium iii chloride hexahydrate in dilute or concentrated mineral acids with the emission of hydrogen.
Nearly msds for dysprosium chloride hexahydrate all dysprosium compounds are in the info on the element dysprosium +3 oxidation state, and are highly paramagnetic.
The primary dysprosium bromide decay mode before the most abundant dysprosium iii where was dysprosium discovered chloride hexahydrate stable isotope, 164-Dy, facts on dysprosium is electron capture, and the primary mode after is beta minus decay.
