Molecular formula and structural formula of Lithium Chloride:
ClLi oder LiCl
Mr = 42.39 g/mol
Lithium(1+) chloride
SMILES: [Li+].[Cl-]
Pure lithium chloride exists as a white, crystalline, highly hygroscopic, strongly salty-tasting, usually powdery solid that slowly melts under the influence of moisture. The chemical crystallizes from water in the form of crystalline hydrates such as monohydrate (CAS 16712-20-2), tri- and pentahydrate. The anhydrous salt is made by heating the hydrates.
A 9.7 molar lithium chloride solution in Deuterium Oxide is used as a reference substance for calibration in 6Li and 7Li NMR spectroscopy.
