What is ticl4?

Tetraethylammonium chloride (TiCl4) is a chemical compound commonly used as a catalyst in organic synthesis and industrial processes. It is a corrosive, colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is highly reactive with water and moisture in the air.

TiCl4 is primarily used in the production of silicone polymers, as a catalyst in the Ziegler-Natta polymerization of olefins, and as a reagent in various organic reactions such as Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation. It is also used in the production of titanium metal and other titanium compounds.

Handling TiCl4 requires caution due to its corrosive nature and reactivity. It should be stored in tightly sealed containers away from water and moisture, and handled in a well-ventilated area with proper protective equipment. Additionally, spills should be immediately cleaned up using appropriate procedures to prevent exposure and accidental reactions.
