Molecular Weight: 256.76 (anhydrous compound); 364.80 (hexahydrate)

Physicochemical Properties
Density: 4.46 g/cm³ (anhydrous); 2.383 g/cm³ (hexahydrate)
Melting Point: 682ºC (anhydrous)
Boiling Point: Decomposes
Solubility: It is highly soluble in water. At 10ºC, the solubility in water is 92.4 g/100 mL. It is also soluble in ethanol and slightly soluble in pyridine.

Uses
Metal Preparation: It is an important raw material for the preparation of samarium metal, and samarium metal has important applications in the field of magnets.
Flux: Anhydrous samarium chloride is a flux for sodium chloride and calcium chloride, which can reduce their melting points and improve their melting characteristics.
Organic Synthesis: It is used to prepare some organometallic compounds of samarium, such as bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)alkylsamarium(III). These compounds can be used as catalysts or reagents in organic synthesis reactions.
Catalyst: It can be used as a catalyst for olefin hydrogenation and hydrosilylation, which can promote these reactions and improve the reaction efficiency and selectivity.

Storage Method
It should be stored in a sealed container in a cool and dry place to avoid moisture, prevent it from absorbing water in the air and deliquescing. At the same time, it should be kept away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidants.

Packaging
Common packaging includes 10 KG/composite woven bags, which can be split; 25 - kilogram and 50 - kilogram bags, packed in iron drums or plastic drums. Customized packaging can also be provided according to the special requirements of users.

Packaging can be customized according to customer requirements.
