Titanium chloride (TiCl3)

Description:

Titanium chloride (TiCl3) is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark brown to black solid form, which is typically found as a crystalline powder. It is a transition metal halide, where titanium is in a +3 oxidation state. TiCl3 is known for its high reactivity, particularly in the presence of moisture, leading to hydrolysis and the formation of titanium dioxide and hydrochloric acid. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and toluene but is insoluble in water. TiCl3 is often used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, including polymerization processes, and plays a significant role in the production of titanium metal and other titanium compounds. Additionally, it exhibits Lewis acid behavior, making it useful in organic synthesis. Safety precautions are necessary when handling TiCl3, as it can be corrosive and poses health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage in a dry, inert atmosphere is recommended to prevent degradation and reactivity with moisture.
