Tungsten (VI) oxide tetrachloride is an inorganic chemical compound of tungsten from the group of oxide chlorides .
Extraction and presentation
Tungsten (VI) oxide tetrachloride can be obtained by reacting tungsten (VI) oxide , tungsten (VI) chloride or sodium tungstate with thionyl chloride .
The representation by heating tungsten (VI) oxide with a solution of chlorine in carbon tetrachloride at 200 ° C or by reacting tungsten powder with sulfuryl chloride at 300 ° C is also possible.
It is also formed during the thermal decomposition of tungsten (VI) dioxide dichloride
as well as when boiling tungsten (VI) oxide in octachlorocyclopentene
and when reacting stoichiometric amounts of tungsten (VI) oxide with tungsten (VI) chloride in an evacuated ampoule at 200 ° C:
properties
Tungsten (VI) oxide tetrachloride is in the form of long, shiny, red needles that appear yellow in transmitted light. It is immediately decomposed by water and more slowly by the humidity, with the formation of tungstic acid. It has a tetragonal crystal structure with the space group I 4 (space group no. 79) and the lattice parameters a = 848 pm and c = 399 pm. In addition to the red tungsten (VI) oxide tetrachloride WOCl 4 , the yellow tungsten (VI) dioxide dichloride WO 2 Cl 2 , the olive green tungsten (V) oxide trichloride WOCl 3 and the golden brown tungsten (IV) oxide dichloride WOCl 2 are further oxide chlorides of the Tungsten.
use
Tungsten (VI) oxide tetrachloride is used in incandescent lamps and as a catalyst in the production of olefins .
