Lithium Chloride

The salt is a typical ionic compound, although the small size of the Li+ ion gives rise to properties not seen for other alkali metal chlorides, such as extraordinary solubility in polar solvents (83.05 g/100 mL of water at 20°C) and its hygroscopic properties. Lithium Chloride is a salt of lithium that has been used experimentally as an immunomodulator. Low toxicity.
