Titanium Tetrachloride, as a strong Lewis acid, exhibits high activity in chlorination reactions, catalytic reactions, and organometallic synthesis, making it an irreplaceable and important intermediate for the production of titanium metal and its compounds.
The global titanium industry is highly dependent on Titanium Tetrachloride, resulting in a mature production capacity layout, storage and transportation standards, and quality system that can meet the needs of large-scale and long-term industrial use.
Cl4Ti is available in multiple purity grades to suit various applications, including industrial and electronic grades, making it particularly suitable for catalyst preparation and high-purity metal processes.
It can be used in a variety of chemical processes, such as chlorination, oxidation, deposition, and substitution, making it a highly flexible metal halide raw material in the industry.
As a strong Lewis acid, Titanium Tetrachloride is a core component of many Ziegler–Natta catalytic systems and is widely used in the polyolefin industry.
TiCl4 can be used in a variety of organic reactions, such as Friedel-Crafts reactions and chlorination reactions, and is an important multi-purpose intermediate in fine chemicals and pharmaceutical chemicals.
It can be used to deposit high-k dielectric TiO2 or conductive gate/diffusion barrier layer TiN.
TiCl4 can be used to deposit TiO2 thin films with a high refractive index, for the preparation of antireflective films, interference filters, and decorative coatings.
Titanium Tetrachloride reacts instantly with water, decomposing and releasing a large amount of hydrogen chloride. The reaction can be represented as: TiCl₄ + 2H₂O → TiO₂ + 4HCl + heat. Therefore, it must be stored in airtight, moisture-proof containers and kept away from any water source, humidity, or damp environments.
Special steel cylinders or corrosion-resistant containers must be used for storage and transportation, and direct contact with stainless steel metal or water-containing materials should be avoided.
Due to its corrosive and highly irritating nature, acid-resistant gloves, protective clothing, protective goggles, and face shields must be worn when handling TiCl4. Bare hands or unprotected operation are strictly prohibited.
In the event of a leak, evacuate personnel immediately, cover with dry sand or use inert absorbent material, and avoid using water-based extinguishing agents to prevent the generation of corrosive fumes.
1. What is Titanium Tetrachloride? Why does it smoke?
It is the tetravalent chloride of titanium, a colorless to pale yellow liquid that reacts violently with water. It "smokes" in the air because it undergoes a violent hydrolysis reaction with water vapor in the air, producing white titanium dioxide solid particles and hydrogen chloride gas. These fine particles are suspended in the air, forming dense white fumes. It is mainly used in CVD deposition, catalyst preparation, and organic synthesis.
2. Does Titanium Tetrachloride dissolve in water?
It does not dissolve in water. In water, it will decompose violently, releasing heat and corrosive gases. Therefore, it should never come into contact with water.
3. What are the advantages of Cl4Ti in CVD?
It has moderate volatility and stable decomposition, and can form uniform and high-purity titanium-based thin films, making it a commonly used precursor for industrial-grade CVD.
