Gadolinium sesquichloride is a lower chloride of gadolinium. It can be obtained by reduction of another lower chloride, Gd₅Cl₁₁. It is constructed with Gd₆ octahedra sharing trans-edges and with chlorine atoms which bridge adjacent chains. It is a semiconductor, and was the first compound of a lanthanide with oxidation state lower than 2. It can be further reduced to obtain GdClH_n.^[1]
