Tungsten(VI) oxytetrachloride is the inorganic compound with the formula WOCl4. This diamagnetic solid is used to prepare other complexes of tungsten. The orange-coloured compound is soluble in nonpolar solvents but it reacts with alcohols and water and forms adducts with Lewis bases. The solid consists of weakly associated square pyramidal monomers.[1] The compound is classified as an oxyhalide.
WOCl4 is prepared from tungsten trioxide:[2]
Reactions
WOCl4 is Lewis acidic. It is a precursor to catalysts used for polymerization of alkynes.[3]
