Description

Ethylcyclopentadienyltitaniumtrichloride is a highly reactive organotitanium compound that serves as a versatile precursor in advanced material synthesis. Its primary value lies in its ability to act as a catalyst or a key intermediate in the formation of specialized polymers and inorganic materials. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of olefin polymerization catalysis, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and the development of novel titanium-based ceramic and thin-film materials.

Application

• Catalyst Precursor for Polyolefins: Used as a single-site catalyst component or co-catalyst in the polymerization of ethylene and propylene to produce polymers with specific microstructures.
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Acts as a volatile titanium source for depositing high-purity titanium nitride (TiN), titanium carbide (TiC), or titanium oxide thin films on substrates for semiconductor and hard-coating applications.
• Material Science Research: A key starting material in laboratories for synthesizing novel organometallic complexes and studying structure-activity relationships in catalysis.
• Advanced Ceramics: Employed in the sol-gel process or as a molecular precursor for producing titanium-containing ceramic powders and composites with tailored properties.
• Organic Synthesis: Functions as a specialized reagent in organic transformations, such as carbonyl olefination (Tebbe-like reactions) and other titanium-mediated couplings.

Quality Control

Our production of Ethylcyclopentadienyltitaniumtrichloride adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and industrial applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including assay by titration and identification by spectroscopic methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, and other critical parameters are provided to guarantee the material meets your specific technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible organic solvents.
