}}Chlorine-37 (37Cl), is one of the stable isotopes of chlorine, the other being chlorine-35 ({{SimpleNuclide|Chlorine|35}}). Its nucleus contains 17 protons and 20 neutrons for a total of 37 nucleons. Chlorine-37 accounts for 24.23% of natural chlorine, chlorine-35 accounting for 75.77%, giving chlorine atoms in bulk an apparent atomic weight of {{val|35.453|(2)|u=g/mol}}.[1]

Remarkably, solar neutrinos were discovered by an experiment using a radiochemical method based on chlorine-37 transmutation.[2]

Neutrino detection

{{Main|Homestake experiment}}

One of the historically important radiochemical methods of solar neutrino detection is based on inverse electron capture triggered by the absorption of an electron neutrino.[3] Chlorine-37 transmutes into argon-37 via the reaction[4]

{{SimpleNuclide|Chlorine|37}} + {{Subatomic particle|Electron neutrino}} → {{SimpleNuclide|Argon|37}} + {{Subatomic particle|Electron-}}.

Argon-37 then de-excites itself via electron capture (half-life = 35 d) into chlorine-37 via the reaction

{{SimpleNuclide|Argon|37}} + {{Subatomic particle|Electron-}} → {{SimpleNuclide|Chlorine|37}} + {{Subatomic particle|Electron neutrino}}.

These last reactions involve Auger electrons of specific energies.[3][5] The detection of these electrons confirms that a neutrino event took place. Detection methods involve several hundred thousand liters of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) or tetrachloroethylene (C2Cl4) stored in underground tanks.[2][3][6]

Occurrence

The representative terrestrial abundance of chlorine-37 is 24.22(4)% of chlorine atoms,[7] with a normal range of 24.14–24.36% of chlorine atoms. When measuring deviations in isotopic composition, the usual reference point is "Standard Mean Ocean Chloride" (SMOC), although a NIST Standard Reference Material (975a) also exists. SMOC is known to be around 24.219% chlorine-37 and to have an atomic weight of around 35.4525[8]

There is a known variation in the isotopic abundance of chlorine-37. This heavier isotope tends to be more prevalent in chloride minerals than in aqueous solutions such as sea water, although the isotopic composition of organochlorine compounds can vary in either direction from the SMOC standard in the range of several parts per thousand.[8]
