Magnesium perchlorate is a powerful oxidizing agent, with the formula Mg(ClO4)2.

Magnesium perchlorate decomposes at 250 °C.[1] The heat of formation is -568.90 kJ mol-1.[2]

The enthalpy of solution is quite high, so reactions are done in large amounts of water to dilute it.

It is sold under the trade name anhydrone.

It was used as desiccant to dry gas or air samples,[3][4] but is no longer advised due to hazards inherent in perchlorates.[5] It is dried by heating at 250 °C under vacuum.
