TITANIUM(IV) BROMIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Orange low melting lumps and powder

Uses

Titanium(IV) bromide is used as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis. It reacts with tetrahydrofurnan and 2-methylpyridine and forms adducts such as TiBr4(THF)2 and TiBr4(2-MePy). It is also used for the formation of titanium silicide thin films on silicon substrates.

reaction suitability

core: titanium
reagent type: catalyst

Purification Methods

Purify it by distillation. The distillate forms light orange hygroscopic crystals. Store it in the dark under N2 preferably in sealed brown glass ampules. [Olsen & Ryan J Am Chem Soc 54 2215 1932.]
