hexacarbonylvanadium Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Bluish green crystalline solid; decomposeson heating at 70°C (158°F); insoluble inwater and alcohol; low solubility in hexaneand other saturated hydrocarbons, but solublein most other organic solvents (solution turnsyellow).

Uses

Hexacarbonylvanadium is used as a catalyst in isomerization andhydrogenation reactions.

Health Hazard

There is no report on its toxicity in the publishedliterature. However, this substance,like most other metal carbonyls, shouldbe treated as a potential health hazard asit can produce highly toxic decompositionproducts, carbon monoxide, and vanadiumoxides. Skin contact can cause irritation.

Fire Hazard

Vanadium hexacarbonyl is a pyrophoric compound. It can explode on heating.
