Titanium(3+) trichloride(CAS: 7705-07-9)

Titanium(3+) trichloride, also known as titanium(III) chloride, is a chemical compound with the formula TiCl3. It is a yellowish-brown liquid at room temperature and is used in various applications due to its reactivity and ability to form coordination complexes.

Titanium(3+) trichloride is widely used in the production of titanium metal and alloys, as a precursor in the chemical industry for the synthesis of other titanium compounds, and in pharmaceuticals for its reactivity in certain chemical reactions. It is also used in the electronics industry for the production of thin films.

Titanium(3+) trichloride is moderately hazardous and requires proper handling to ensure safety. It is flammable and corrosive, and exposure can cause skin irritation and respiratory issues. Adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment are recommended during handling.

Titanium(3+) trichloride should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from heat and sources of ignition. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container and protected from light and moisture. Storage temperatures should be maintained below 25°C to prevent degradation and ensure stability.
