IUPAC name: Titanium (IV) chloride
Miscellaneous comments: Spartan'02, Wavefunction, Inc., Irvine, CA
Miscellaneous comments: Structure was calculated using an ab initio method.
Layman's explanation: Titanium tetrachloride first became commercially important in 1946 when Kroll showed that metal titanium is yielded in the reduction of titanium tetrachloride with magnesium metal. Kroll's method is still widely used in the mass production of titanium for commercial use. Titanium tetrachloride is used today to make titanium metal as well as the white pigment titanium dioxide. Titanium tetrachloride is highly reactive and is irritating to the eyes and lungs. Large doses can kill. Titanium tetrachloride spontaneously decomposes in the air, but it can be introduced to the environment through spills. It reacts with water to form hydrochloric acid.
