Protactinium(IV) chloride is an inorganic compound. It is an actinide halide, composed of protactinium and chlorine. It is radioactive, and has the chemical formula of PaCl4. It is a chartreuse-coloured crystal[1] of the tetragonal crystal system. It can be prepared by the reduction of protactinium(V) chloride or the chlorination of protactinium(IV) oxide:[2]
