Abstract

Tungsten tetrachloride is the most synthetically useful binary tungsten chloride. This chapter reports on the convenient preparations of WCl 4 from WCl 6 in a crystalline, edge‐sharing bioctahedral polymer form via solid‐state methods and a reactive amorphous powder form of unknown structure via solution methods. A literature procedure is followed for gravimetric determination of tungsten as WO 3 after treatment with HNO 3 and ignition. The chapter discusses the procedure and properties of obtaining crystalline tungsten tetrachloride by solid‐state reduction, and obtaining amorphous tungsten tetrachloride by solution‐phase reduction.
