Aluminium chloride (AlCl3) is a compound of aluminium and chlorine. The anhydrous material has a very interesting structure: despite being the halide of a highly electropositive metal, its bonding is principally covalent. This is seen in the fact that it has a low melting and boiling point (it sublimes at 178 ° C), and it conducts electricity poorly in the liquid state[1], unlike ionic halides such as sodium chloride. It exists in the solid state as a six-coordinate layer lattice. This melts to a four-coordinate dimer, Al2Cl6, which can vaporise, but at higher temperatures this dissociates into a simple AlCl3 species analogous to BF3. ...more on Wikipedia about "Aluminium chloride"

Ammonium Perrhenate (APR) is a salt of Rhenium, NH4ReO4. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ammonium perrhenate"

Ammonium persulfate (NH4)2S2O8 has been prepared by H. Marshall by the method used for the preparation of Potassium Persulfate. It is very soluble in cold water, a large fall of temperature accompanying solution. It is a very strong oxidizing agent and a radical initiator. It is used to etch copper on printed circuit boards as an alternative to ferric chloride solution . ...more on Wikipedia about "Ammonium persulfate"

Boron oxide is an odourless, colourless or white solid, also known as diboron trioxide, formula B2O3. ...more on Wikipedia about "Boron trioxide"

Fluoroantimonic acid, the strongest known superacid system, is a mixture of hydrofluoric acid and antimony pentafluoride. In this system, hydrofluoric acid releases the proton (H+), and the conjugate base (F-) is effectively sequestered by forming a strong coordinate bond with the fluorophilic antimony pentafluoride. The result of this coordinated bond is a large octahedral anion (SbF6-), which is a very weak nucleophile and a very weak base. The proton effectively becomes a "free proton", which accounts for the system's extreme acidity. Fluoroantimonic acid is 2*1016(twenty quintillion) times stronger than 100% sulfuric acid. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fluoroantimonic acid"

Fluorosulfuric acid (FSO3H) is a very strong Brønsted acid, about 1000 times stronger than hydrochloric acid, making it a superacid. Fluorosulfuric acid is also highly corrosive, and is one of the few acids (like hydrofluoric acid) able to dissolve glass (SiO2). ...more on Wikipedia about "Fluorosulfuric acid"

Hydrogen cyanide is a chemical compound with chemical formula HCN. A solution of hydrogen cyanide in water is called hydrocyanic acid or prussic acid. Pure hydrogen cyanide is a colorless, very poisonous, and highly volatile liquid that boils slightly above room temperature at 26 °C, thereby generating hydrogen cyanide gas. Hydrogen cyanide has a faint, bitter, almond-like odor that some people are unable to smell due to a genetic trait. Hydrogen cyanide is weakly acidic and partly converts to the cyanide ion CN– in aqueous solution, resulting in a colorless volatile liquid with the typical hydrogen cyanide odor. The salts of hydrogen cyanide are known as cyanides. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hydrogen cyanide"

Hydrohalic acid is a group name for the acids of the halogens, which are the aqueous solutions of the hydrogen halides: ...more on Wikipedia about "Hydrohalic acid"

An inorganic compound is a chemical compound that is not an organic compound. Inorganic compounds come principally from mineral sources of non-biological origin. The modern definition of inorganic compounds often includes all metal-containing compounds, even those found in living systems. Although most carbon compounds are classed as organic, cyanide salts, carbon oxides and carbonates are usually considered to be inorganic. ...more on Wikipedia about "Inorganic compound"

This page aims to list concisely all of the common inorganic & organometallic compounds of each element, whether or not they have an existing page. These are compounds that may warrant their own individual pages. Compounds are listed by chemical element rather than purely alphabetically as in list of inorganic compounds. Please add (to both lists) any new compounds that have been omitted. The page is still under construction - more elements will be added as time allows. See the discussion page for more detail. ...more on Wikipedia about "Inorganic compounds by element"

The halogens react with each other to form interhalogen compounds. ...more on Wikipedia about "Interhalogen"

Intermetallics is the short summarizing designation for intermetallic phases and compounds, i.e. chemical compounds between two or more metals with crystal structures which differ from those of the constituent metals. In a mechanical context, such compounds often offer a compromise between ceramic and metallic properties when hardness and/or resistance to high temperatures is important enough to sacrifice some toughness and ease of processing. They can also display desirable magnetic, superconducting and chemical properties, due to their strong internal order and mixed (metallic and covalent/ionic) bonding, respecitvely. ...more on Wikipedia about "Intermetallics"

Palladium hydride is metallic palladium that contains a substantial quantity of hydrogen within its crystal lattice. At room temperature and atmospheric pressure, palladium can absorb up to 900 times its own volume of hydrogen. This remarkable property allows palladium to store substantial quantities of hydrogen in a safe manner, and may also allow for unusual chemical reactions to be performed. The details of how this absorption process works are poorly understood. Better understanding of what happens at the molecular level, such as phase changes that occur as hydrogen fills the metal and the effect of defects in the material, could give clues to designing metal hydrides that perform better. ...more on Wikipedia about "Palladium hydride"

The simplest compound of a series of phosphoric acids is sometimes called by its common name, orthophosphoric acid, but more often called by its IUPAC name, simply phosphoric acid, by both non-technical people and even many chemists. The chemical formula of orthophosphoric acid is H3PO4 and its chemical structure is labeled in the illustration. There is a separate article on this most important compound in the series at: Phosphoric acid. However, two or more orthophosphoric acid molecules can be joined by condensation into larger molecules by elimination of water. This way, a series of polyphosphoric acids can be obtained. ...more on Wikipedia about "Phosphoric acids and Phosphates"

The chemical compound potassium fluoride (KF) is a alkali metal halide composed of Potassium and Fluorine. A rare but naturally occurring example is the mineral carobbiite. ...more on Wikipedia about "Potassium fluoride"

Pseudohalogens are binary inorganic compounds of the general form XY, where X is a cyanide, cyanate, thiocyanate etc. group and Y is any of X, or a true halogen. Not all combinations are known to be stable. Examples include cyanogen, (CN)2 and iodine cyanide, ICN. These anions behave as halogens and the presence of the internal double bonds or triple bonds do not appear to affect their chemical behavior. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pseudohalogen"

Silanols are compounds containing silicon atoms to which hydroxy substituents bond directly. They are considered to be heavier analogues of alcohols. ...more on Wikipedia about "Silanol"

Zinc iodide is composed of Zinc and Iodine. It is an inorganic compound with a molecular weight of 319.22. It is a white, granular, odorless solid that absorbs water from the atmosphere and then dissolves into a solution. At 1150°C, zinc iodide vapor dissociates into zinc and iodine. ...more on Wikipedia about "Zinc iodide"
