'''Aluminium trichloride''', AlCl<sub>3</sub>, is an important industrial chemical catalyst, especially for polymerization reactions. It is a [[pyrophoric]] [[Lewis acid]] chemical compound which instantly ignites when it is exposed to air. It is a highly reactive compound that can also be used as a chemical promoter in chelation-controlled reactions. It is also an astringent, used medically for [[athlete's foot]] [[hyperhidrosis]] therapy.<ref>[http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=24012 PubChem Compound]] </ref> | |||

Aluminium trichloride, AlCl3, is an important industrial chemical catalyst, especially for polymerization reactions. It is a pyrophoric Lewis acid chemical compound which instantly ignites when it is exposed to air. It is a highly reactive compound that can also be used as a chemical promoter in chelation-controlled reactions. It is also an astringent, used medically for athlete's foot hyperhidrosis therapy.[1]
