Chloride inclusions (MgCl 2, NaCl, CaCl 2, …) are a special type of inclusion as they are liquid in liquid metal. When aluminium solidifies, they form spherical voids similar to hydrogen gas porosity but the void contains a chloride crystal formed when aluminium became colder.
Aluminium chloride, also known as aluminium trichloride, is an inorganic compound with the formula AlCl 3. It forms a hexahydrate with the formula [Al(H 2 O) 6 ]Cl 3 , containing six water molecules of hydration .
For similar reasons, anhydrous aluminium salts cannot be made by heating their "hydrates": hydrated aluminium chloride is in fact not AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O but [Al(H 2 O) 6]Cl 3, and the Al–O bonds are so strong that heating is not sufficient to break them and form Al–Cl bonds instead: [2] 2[Al(H 2 O) 6]Cl 3 Al 2 O 3 + 6 HCl + 9 H 2 O
Aluminium chlorohydrate can be commercially manufactured by reacting aluminium with hydrochloric acid. A number of aluminium-containing raw materials can be used, including aluminium metal, alumina trihydrate, aluminium chloride, aluminium sulfate and combinations of these.
Tetrachloroaluminate [AlCl 4] − is an anion formed from aluminium and chlorine.The anion has a tetrahedral shape and is isoelectronic with silicon tetrachloride.Some tetrachloroaluminates are soluble in organic solvents, creating an ionic non-aqueous solution, making them suitable as component of electrolytes for batteries.
Aluminium monochloride, or chloridoaluminium is the metal halide with the formula AlCl. Aluminium monochloride as a molecule is thermodynamically stable at high temperature and low pressure only. [2] This compound is produced as a step in the Alcan process to smelt aluminium from an aluminium-rich alloy.
An important example is the reaction of ethyl chloride with aluminium to form ethylaluminium sesquichloride. 3 C 2 H 5 Cl + 2 Al → (C 2 H 5) 3 Al 2 Cl 3. The reaction is carried out with aluminium in the form of turnings, shavings, granules, or powder. Oxygen and moisture must be rigorously excluded.
