CAS 13470-13-8: Tungsten chloride (WCl4), (T-4)-

Description:Tungsten chloride (WCl4), also known as tungsten(IV) chloride, is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark brown to black solid form. It is a covalent compound that exhibits a tetrahedral molecular geometry, with tungsten in a +4 oxidation state. WCl4 is known for its high reactivity, particularly with water and moisture, leading to hydrolysis and the formation of tungsten oxides and hydrochloric acid. This compound is typically synthesized through the direct reaction of tungsten metal with chlorine gas at elevated temperatures. In terms of applications, tungsten chloride is utilized in various fields, including catalysis and as a precursor for the synthesis of tungsten-containing materials. It is important to handle WCl4 with care due to its corrosive nature and potential health hazards, as it can release toxic fumes upon decomposition. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area, are essential when dealing with this chemical.
