Gadolinium(III) chloride also known as gadolinium trichloride is GdCl3. It is a colorless hygroscopic water-soluble solid. The hexahydrate GdCl3∙6H2O is commonly encountered and is sometimes also called gadolinium trichloride. Gd3+ species are of special interest because the ion has the maximum number of unpaired spins possible at least for known elements.
