Clustering reactions

Chlorine anion + AlCl3 = (Chlorine anion • AlCl3)

By formula: Cl- + AlCl3 = (Cl- • AlCl3)

Quantity Value Units Method Reference Comment
ΔrH°76.7 ± 2.9kcal/molTDAsPervova, Korobov, et al., 1992gas phase; Thermo at 0K, experiments at 800-1100 K; value altered from reference due to conversion from electron convention to ion convention

Fluorine anion + AlCl3 = (Fluorine anion • AlCl3)

By formula: F- + AlCl3 = (F- • AlCl3)

Quantity Value Units Method Reference Comment
ΔrH°120.9 ± 3.0kcal/molTDAsPervova, Korobov, et al., 1992gas phase; Thermo at 0K, experiments at 800-1100 K; value altered from reference due to conversion from electron convention to ion convention
