Dysprosium(III) chloride (DyCl3) also known as dysprosium trichloride is a compound of dysprosium and chlorine. It is a white to yellow solid which rapidly absorbs water on exposure to moist air to form a hexahydrate DyCl3.6H2O. Simple rapid heating of the hydrate causes partial hydrolysis to an oxychloride DyOCl.
