Highly Reactive Chlorinating Agent for Advanced Synthesis and Inorganic Chemistry
VWR Titanium(IV) Chloride (TiCl₄) is a high-purity inorganic compound with a minimum assay of 99.5%, supplied under the GPR RECTAPUR® label for advanced laboratory and industrial use. Known for its volatility and strong Lewis acid behavior, TiCl₄ is extensively used as a catalyst, chlorinating agent, and precursor in organometallic, coordination, and materials chemistry.
Due to its high reactivity, corrosive nature, and toxicity, this compound must be handled in inert atmospheres or controlled fume hoods by experienced personnel.

Applications
- Catalyst precursor in Ziegler–Natta polymerization
- Chlorinating agent in organic and inorganic synthesis
- Titanium source in sol-gel processing and ceramics
- Reagent for synthesis of titanium-based coordination complexes
- Used in surface treatment, metal finishing, and coating technologies
Safety and Handling
- Highly corrosive—causes severe burns upon contact with skin or eyes
- Toxic by inhalation and ingestion
- Reacts violently with water—release of hydrogen chloride gas
- Use only in inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen glovebox or dry box)
- Store in air-tight, corrosion-resistant containers
- Wear appropriate PPE: gloves, face shield, lab coat, chemical-resistant apron
- Refer to the SDS for detailed safety, storage, and emergency procedures
