At ambient conditions the hydrolysis of BiCl 3 to BiOCl proceeds via the intermediate hydrate BiCl 3 · H 2 O as has been revealed by time dependent in‐situ X‐ray powder diffraction as well as time and temperature controlled TG‐MS experiments. Below 50 °C the topochemical formation of thehydrate can be reversed by reducing the H 2 O vapour pressure. Above this temperature the hydrate is unstable and the mechanism of the hydrolysis changes. BiCl 3 · H 2 O crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C 2/ m with lattice parameters a = 1114.25(1) pm, b = 876.82(1) pm, c = 584.20(1) pm, and β = 106.64(1)°.
