Observations are reported on the interconversion of solid α-Bi2O3, Bi12O17Cl2, BiOCl, and a daubréeite-like phase tentatively identified as Bi2O2(OH)Cl, in aqueous chloride solutions at 25 °C. Equilibrium constants, K, for these interconversions are expressed as anion activity ratios, {Cl−}/{OH−}. Experimental values of K for equilibrium between Bi2O3 and each of the chlorides are 100.56 ± 0.20 for Bi12O17Cl2, 101.5 ± 0.4 for Bi2O2(OH)Cl, and 103.13 ± 0.04 for BiOCl; the fatter two represent metastable equilibria. These equilibrium constants yielded the following estimates of Gibbs energies of formation: Bi12O17Cl2, −3141 ± 6 kJ mol−1;"Bi2O2(OH)Cl", −696 ± 4 kJ mol−1; BiOCl, −321.5 ± 1.3 kJ mol−1. Phase relationships among these solids are discussed, with reference to natural occurrence, other bismuth oxychlorides, and the stability of other basic salts of bismuth.
