| Application: | Bismuth(III) chloride can be used:• As a precursor to prepare polyaniline and bismuth(III) telluride nanohybrids with high thermoelectric performance. • As a starting material to synthesize visible light absorbing double perovskite semiconductors, such as Cs2AgBiBr6 and Cs2AgBiCl6, eco-friendly alternative to the lead halide perovskites. • To form a protective layer on anode materials. It can also be used as an efficient catalyst for green synthesis of:• Chalcones by Claisen–Schmidt reaction under solvent-free conditions. • One-pot three-component synthesis of Propargylamines. • Coumarins via ultrasound‐assisted Pechmann condensation of phenols with β‐ketoesters. |
| General description: | Bismuth(III) chloride is a Lewis acid catalyst and a common source of Bi3+ ions used in various organic transformations and synthesis of bismuth nanomaterials. |
