A compound of magnesium and chlorine. In addition to the anhydrous form, there are also di-, tetra-, hexa-, octa-, deca-, and dodeca-hydrates, but the hexahydrate (monoclinic system) is the most stable at room temperature. It is naturally produced in Stassfurt, Germany, as bischofite MgCl 2 ·6H 2 O, and in the form of a double salt, carnallite MgCl 2 ·KCl·6H 2 O. It is also found in seawater, and accounts for about 10 to 20% of bittern produced by the ion-exchange membrane salt manufacturing industry. In Japan, this is used as a raw material to produce hydrates. Anhydrous magnesium oxide can be obtained by reacting it directly with chlorine, but it is usually obtained by dehydrating the hydrate. In this case, if it is heated in air, the following reaction occurs in some parts, so it is not possible to obtain a pure product.

マグネシウムと塩素の化合物。無水和物のほかに、二、四、六、八、十、12水和物などがあるが、常温では六水和物(単斜晶系)がもっとも安定である。天然にはビショファイトMgCl2・6H2Oとして、ドイツのシュタッスフルトに産出し、複塩の形でカーナリットMgCl2・KCl・6H2Oとして産出する。海水中にも含まれ、イオン交換膜法製塩工業から出るにがりの中に10から20%程度含まれる。日本ではこれを原料として水和物を製造している。無水和物は酸化マグネシウムを直接塩素と反応させても得られるが、通常は水和物の脱水によっている。この場合、空気中で加熱すれば、たとえば次のような反応が一部でおこるので純粋なものが得られない。
