Aluminum chloride  AlCl3  is a solid at room temperature and undergoes sublimation at high temperatures, which means it transitions directly from a solid to a gaseous state without passing through a liquid state. The sublimation point of AlCl3 is around 181.2C  357.8F  at 1 atm of atmospheric pressure. So, it does not have a boiling point under normal atmospheric pressure.
