CAS 7721-01-9: Tantalum pentachloride

In chlorination of organic substances, as an intermediate, and in the production of pure metalTantalum(V) chloride is used in the preparation of catalyst for the polycyclotrimerizations of alkenediynes, chloro-aryloxide compounds and for the plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition of tantalum nitride films. It acts as a starting material for new edge-bridged octahedral M6 cluster compounds. It is involved in the preparation of tantalum(V) oxychloride, tantalum pentoxide. It is electrophilic and behaves like a Friedel-Crafts type catalyst, similar to aluminum(III) chloride.

The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Tantalum(V) chloride

Tantalum chloride is an inorganic compound of tantalum and chlorine. It is synthesized by dissolving tantalum metal in a sodium hydroxide solution with hydrochloric acid, hydrogen fluoride, and sodium carbonate. Tantalum chloride can be used to produce the tantalum-oxo compounds that are useful for the manufacture of lubricants and heat transfer fluids. This chemical can be synthesized by heating tantalum metal with a caustic soda solution. Tantalum chloride is also produced as a by-product of the production of other chemicals such as titanium dioxide or ammonium perchlorate. Tantalum chloride is commonly used in analytical chemistry for gravimetric analysis, particle size distribution, and structural analysis through NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The synthesis process produces very small particles with diameters less than 10 nm in diameter that are difficult to characterize without specialized equipment.

Tantalum(V) chloride

Tantalum(V) chloride is used to form mixed chloro-aryloxide compounds, such as [Ta(OC6H3-2,6-i-Pr2)2Cl3]2, which form pyridine or phosphine adducts with a distorted six-coordinate geometry. It is also used as a starting material for new edge-bridged octahedral M6 cluster compounds such as CsErTa6Cl18.
