Thulium(II) chloride is an

inorganic compound In chemistry, an inorganic compound is typically a chemical compound that lacks carbon–hydrogen bonds, that is, a compound that is not an organic compound. The study of inorganic compounds is a subfield of chemistry known as '' inorganic chemist ...

with the chemical formula TmCl₂.

Production

Thulium(II) chloride can be produced by reducing thulium(III) chloride by thulium metal: : 2 TmCl₃ + Tm → 3 TmCl₂

Chemical properties

Thulium(II) chloride reacts with water violently, producing hydrogen gas and thulium(III) hydroxide. When thulium(II) chloride first touches water, a light red solution is formed, which fades quickly.
