Chemical Properties

Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 10476-85-4 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. White crystalline powder
2. Strontium chloride, SrCl2 is a salt of strontium and chlorine. It is ionic and water-soluble. It is less toxic than barium chloride [CAS: 10361-37-2] BaCl2, though more toxic than calcium chloride CaCl2. It emits a bright red color when heated in a flame. Strontium chloride can be prepared from strontium hydroxide or strontium carbonate reacting with hydrochloric acid. It can also be prepared by the union of the elements, strontium and chlorine.

Physical properties

Strontium chloride has the formula SrCl2 and the molecular weight of 247.43 g/cm3. It is a typical salt, forming neutral aqueous solutions. Strontium chloride can be prepared by treating strontium hydroxide or strontium carbonate with hydrochloric acid: Sr(OH)2＋ 2HCl→SrCl2＋ 2H2O SrCO3＋ 2HCl→SrCl2＋ CO2＋H2O Crystallization from a cold aqueous solution gives the hexahydrate, SrCl2·6H2O. Dehydration of this salt occurs in stages, commencing above 61°C and ending at 320°C, where full dehydration occurs. The dihydrate, SrCl2·2H2O, is a metastable form before the anhydrate begins to form at 200°C. The hydrates formed in solution have one, two or six waters of crystallization. SrCl2·6H2O is a hexagonal system consisting of colorless long-needle crystals. It loses four crystal waters of hydration at 61.4°C to form plate crystals of SrCl2·2H2O which become the monohydrate at 100°C and anhydrate at 200°C. Another common hydrate, SrCl2·2H2O, is composed of white, crystalline needles which have a sharp, bitter taste. It can be prepared by fusing SrCO3 with CaCl2 at high temperature and then extracting the melt with water. The solution is then concentrated and then crystallized to form SrCl2·6H2O, which is then dehydrated at 68°C to form the dihydrate.Anhydrous strontium chloride is a colorless crystal or a white powder with a molecular weight of 158.53 g/mol and a density of 3.05 g/cm3. Its melting point is 875°C and its boiling point is 1250°C. It is easily soluble in water but slightly soluble in anhydrous alcohol and acetone. It is not soluble in liquid ammonia.

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 10476-85-4 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Strontium chloride is the precursor to other compounds of strontium, such as yellow SrCrO4, which is used as a corrosion inhibitor for aluminum. Strontium chloride is the compound usually used as a red coloring agent in fireworks. It imparts a much more intense red color to the flames than other alternatives. It is employed in small quantities in glass making and metallurgy. The radioactive isotope, strontium-89, used for the treatment of bone cancer. It is usually administered in the form of strontium chloride. Seawater aquaria require small amounts of strontium chloride, which is consumed in the production of the exoskeletons of certain planktons. SrCl2 is useful in reducing tooth sensitivity by forming a barrier over microscopic tubules in the dentin-containing nerve endings that have become exposed by gum recession.
2. Radioactive agent.
3. Strontium chloride are white needles made by fusing calcium chloride with sodium carbonate. It is soluble in water and alcohol. Strontium chloride was a popular halide for making collodion-chloride printing-out emulsions.

Definition

strontium chloride: A white compound, SrCl2. The anhydrous salt (cubic; r.d. 3.05; m.p. 872°C; b.p. 1250°C) can be prepared by passing chlorine over heated strontium. It is deliquescent and readily forms the hexahydrate, SrCl2·6H2O (r.d. 2.67).This can be made by neutralizing hydrochloric acid with strontium carbonate, oxide, or hydroxide. Strontium chloride is used for military flares.

Preparation

Strontium chloride is obtained by dissolving strontium carbonate in concentrated hydrochloric acid. The hexahydrate, SrCl2 · 6H2O [10025-70-4], is formed on crystallizing below 61℃. On dehydration, the hexahydrate dissolves in its water of crystallization at 61℃. After passing through the di- and monohydrate stages, strontium chloride becomes fully dehydrated at 320℃.

Brand name

Stronscan-85 (Abbott).

Novel alkali earth borohydride Sr(BH4)2 and borohydride-chloride Sr(BH4)Cl

Two novel alkali earth borohydrides, Sr(BH4)2 and Sr(BH4)Cl, have been synthesized and investigated by in-situ synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction (SR-PXD) and Raman spectroscopy. Strontium borohydride, Sr(BH4)2, was synthesized via a metathesis reaction between LiBH4 and SrCl2 by two complementary methods, i.e., solvent-mediated and mechanochemical synthesis, while Sr(BH4)Cl was obtained from mechanochemical synthesis, i.e., ball milling. Sr(BH4)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system, a = 6.97833(9) A, b = 8.39651(11) A, and c = 7.55931(10) A (V = 442.927(10) A3) at RT with space group symmetry Pbcn. The compound crystallizes in α-PbO2 structure type and is built from half-occupied brucite-like layers of slightly distorted [Sr(BH4)6] octahedra stacked in the a-axis direction. Strontium borohydride chloride, Sr(BH4)Cl, is a stoichiometric, ordered compound, which also crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system, a = 10.8873(8) A, b = 4.6035(3) A, and c = 7.4398(6) A (V = 372.91(3) A3) at RT, with space group symmetry Pnma and structure type Sr(OH)2. Sr(BH4)Cl dissociates into Sr(BH4)2 and SrCl2 at ～170 C, while Sr(BH4)2 is found to decompose in multiple steps between 270 and 465 C with formation of several decomposition products, e.g., SrB 6. Furthermore, partly characterized new compounds are also reported here, e.g., a solvate of Sr(BH4)2 and two Li-Sr-BH 4 compounds.

(1H, 13C, 17O, 25Mg, 35Cl).Solvation numbers of c. 4.5 (Mg2+) and c. 5.5 (Sr2+) were determined from component band analysis of the c. 800 cm-1 acetone band in the Raman spectra.The solvent shell about the Mg2+ had a high level of steric crowding.There was a small amount of solvent-shared ion-pair formation at all concentrations in solutions of Mg(ClO4)2 which showed little concentration dependence.In solutions of Sr(ClO4)2 there was evidence for the formation of both solvent-shared associated-ion species and ion-contact species.The solvent-shared species appeared to have two alternative configurations in one of which the anion was both polarized and highly hindered.There was a salt-promoted reaction in which the perchlorate was reduced to chloride and the solution darkened.This reaction prevented the use of Raman spectra to quantify the association equilibria.

Synthesis and structural characterization of new phases in the cubic M 3Te2O6X2 (M = Sr, Ba; X = Cl, Br) structure family

Four alkaline earth oxotellurate(IV) halides with common formula M 3Te2O6X2 (M = Sr, Ba; X = Cl, Br) have been prepared as polycrystalline powders and/or in the form of single crystals. All compounds crystallize in the cubic space group Fd (3) m with cell parameters a = 15.9351(4) A for Sr3Te2O 6Cl2 (single-crystal X-ray data), 16.052(5) A for Sr3Te2O6Br2 (powder X-ray data), 16.688(2) A for Ba3Te2O6Cl2 (single-crystal X-ray data) and 16.8072(3) A for Ba3Te 2O6Br1.64Cl0.36 (single-crystal X-ray data). The results of the crystal structure analyses reveal a rigid (3)[M3Te2O6]2+ framework which can be described as being composed of regular octahedra of two types of chemically non-bonded M6 octahedra that are capped by trigonal pyramidal [TeO3] anions located above every second face of one of the M 6 octahedra. The halide X- anions are situated in the voids of the [M3Te2O6]2+ framework. Dependent on the nature of the halogen, the anions show various kinds of occupational disorder which eventually led to a revision of the previous structure model of Ba3Te2O6Cl2. A comparative discussion with other structures of general formula M 3Ch2O6X2 (M = divalent metal; Ch = Te, Se; X = Cl, Br) is presented. Copyright

On the chemical vapor transport of ternary transition metal- and earth

The chemical vapor transport of transition metal tungstates MWO4 (M=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) was investigated in dependence on mean transport temperature (923 K to 1223 K) and amount of transport agent Cl2. All tungstates migrate in a temperature gradient ΕT = 100 K from the region of higher temperature to the lower temperature with migration rates of 0.5 to 8 mg/h depending on experimental conditions. The transport behaviour was determined by continuous measurement of mass change during the transport experiments. The results were compared to thermo chemical calculations and the influence of moisture content discussed in detail. MgWO4 migrates under the influence of Cl2 in a temperature gradient 1273 K to 1173 K (migration rate 0.7 mg/h), CaWO4 and SrWO4 in a temperature gradient 1423 K to 1323 K (migration rate 0.1 mg/h).
