white fine crystalline powder | [Physical properties]
White monoclinic crystal; sublimes at 317°C; melts at 432°C at 33 atm (triple point); critical temperature 452.5°C; critical pressure 53.49 atm; critical volume 314 cm3/mol; hydrolyzes in water. | [Uses]
Hafnium tetrachloride is an important intermediate in production of hafnium metal. It also is used to prepare many hafnium compounds. | [Preparation]
Hafnium tetrachloride can be prepared (i) by chlorination of hafnium dioxide in the presence of carbon: HfO2 + 2Cl2 + C → HfCl4 + 2CO It also may be prepared by several other methods, such as (ii) reaction of carbon tetrachloride with hafnium dioxide above 450°C; (iii) heating a mixture of hafnium dioxide and carbon above 700°C; and (iv) reaction of chlorine with hafnium at elevated temperatures. | [Reactions]
Hafnium(IV) chloride hydrolyzes, evolving hydrogen chloride:
HfCl4 + H2O→ HfOCl2+ 2 HCl
Aged samples thus often are contaminated with oxychlorides, which are also colourless.
THF forms a monomeric 2:1 complex:
HfCl4+ 2 OC4H8→HfCl4(OC4H8)2
| [Flammability and Explosibility]
Nonflammable | [Solubility in organics]
Soluble in methanol, acetone, reacts strongly with water, highly hygroscopic, hydrolyzes in water. | [Structure and conformation]
This group 4 halide contains hafnium in the +4 oxidation state. Solid Hafnium(IV) chloride is a polymer with octahedral Hf centers. Of the six chloride ligands surrounding each Hf centre, two chloride ligands are terminal and four bridge to another Hf centre.
