Tungsten(VI) oxytetrachloride

Tungsten(VI) oxytetrabromide

Tungsten(VI) oxytetrachloride is the inorganic compound with the formula . This diamagnetic solid is used to prepare other complexes of tungsten. The red-orange solid that is soluble in aromatic and chlorinated solvents. It reacts with alcohols and water.

Structure

black}} Tungsten, W

The solid consists of weakly associated square pyramidal monomers. The compound is classified as an oxyhalide.

Synthesis and reactions

is prepared from tungsten trioxide or hexachloride: : : It is "difficult to prepare by other means," but thionyl chloride also oxidizes tungsten(IV) oxide to the oxytetrachloride at 200 °C.

is a Lewis acid. It forms 1:1 adducts with Lewis bases such as acetonitrile and THF.

It is a precursor to catalysts used for polymerization of alkynes.
