010ChemInform Abstract are investigated using a spectrophotometric method. In addition to the vapor-phase species CuCl2, Cu3Cl3, and Cl2, which are unambiguously identified, indications of the presence of Cu2Cl4, KCuCl3, and a Cu-La-Cl complex are obtained. The Cl2 pressure has a maximum corresponding approximately to the molar ratio Cu/K/La ≈ 50/35/15. This variation of the Cl2 vapor pressure may be understood from a Lewis acid-base concept.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
