Tungsten hexacarbonyl

Description:
Tungsten hexacarbonyl, with the CAS number 14040-11-0, is a chemical compound composed of tungsten and carbonyl ligands. It is characterized by its molecular formula W(CO)6, indicating that it contains one tungsten atom coordinated to six carbon monoxide (CO) molecules. This compound is a colorless, volatile solid at room temperature and is known for its high stability under inert conditions. Tungsten hexacarbonyl exhibits a trigonal bipyramidal geometry, which is typical for metal carbonyl complexes. It is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and toluene but is sensitive to moisture and air, leading to decomposition. The compound is primarily used in organometallic chemistry and as a precursor for tungsten-containing materials. Its reactivity allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including substitution and reduction processes. Due to its unique properties, tungsten hexacarbonyl is of interest in catalysis and materials science, although handling requires caution due to its toxicity and potential environmental hazards.
