Bismuth chloride oxide is a chemical compound made from bismuth , chlorine and oxygen that is used in the cosmetics industry.

Extraction and presentation

When a solution of bismuth (III) chloride prepared with water containing hydrochloric acid is dripped into a lot of water, bismuth chloride oxide ( basic bismuth chloride) separates out in shiny flakes or as a dazzling white powder.

It is also possible to display it by reacting bismuth (III) chloride with cadmium (II) oxide at 400 ° C.

properties

BiCl 4 O 4 unit in BiClO

Bismuth chloride oxide is a colorless crystal powder that is only very slightly soluble in water and has a tetragonal crystal structure. In addition to the anhydrate, there is also a hydrate BiOCl · H 2 O. There are contradicting literature data on the water content of the preparations obtainable by hydrolysis of bismuth (III) chloride, but they can be dehydrated to BiOCl by heating to> 260 ° C. Bismuth chloride oxide (BiClO) crystallizes tetragonally , space group P 4 / nmm (space group no. 129) with the lattice parameters a = 3.887 Å and c = 7.354 Å. The structure consists of Bi 3+ ions, which are coordinated by four chloride and four oxide ions. The coordination polyhedron is a square antiprism. Each chloride and oxide ion coordinates a further three bismuth ions, so that a layer structure results. In addition to BiClO, the bismuth chloride oxides Bi 3 ClO 4 and Bi 24 Cl 10 O 31 are also known. Template: room group / 129

use

Bismuth chloride oxide was previously used in medicine and as make-up (bismuth white, pearl white, make-up powder, blanc d'Espagne). It is still used today as a dye in lipsticks, mascara and similar cosmetic products and is used as a material for pearlescent effects. It is also used in combination with prednisolone acetate in ointments or suppositories for hemorrhoids .
