Description

Titanium trichloride is a chemical compound that has the chemical formula TiCl3. It is an inorganic compound with a high boiling point and can be used as a catalyst for many reactions. Titanium trichloride reacts with potassium dichromate and hydrochloric acid to form titanium dioxide, water, and hydrogen chloride gas. The reaction mechanism of titanium trichloride is believed to involve coordination complex formation between titanium and chlorine atoms. This process requires activation energies that are proportional to the particle size of the reactant. Titanium trichloride also has redox potentials that are higher than those for most other transition metals, which makes it more reactive than compounds such as iron(III) chloride or nickel(II) chloride.
