'''Antimony pentachloride''' is a very corrosive substance, and fumes in moist air. It reacts with water vigorously to give a strongly acidic solution consisting mainly of hydrochloric acid (with some dissolved antimony(V)). This is due to the [[hydrolysis]] of this compound. It is very soluble in hydrochloric acid and solutions containing the chloride ion, due to complex formation:
SbCl<sub>5</sub> + Cl<sup><nowiki>−</nowiki></sup> → SbCl<sub>6</sub><sup><nowiki>−</nowiki></sup>
