Chemical SynthesisTungsten
01 /Applications

Tungsten thin-film precursor

The complex serves as a volatile, soluble organometallic source of tungsten for vapour-phase deposition processes used to produce tungsten and tungsten-containing films. Its butylcyclopentadienyl ligands aid handling and delivery in such systems.

Organometallic synthesis

It is used as a defined tungsten(IV) building block for preparing further organotungsten complexes and for studies in coordination and organometallic chemistry.

Catalysis research

As a well-characterised metallocene-type tungsten complex, it is employed in catalysis and inorganic-chemistry investigations where a tungsten centre with cyclopentadienyl ligands is required.

Materials and laboratory reagent

The compound functions as a research reagent in materials chemistry and chemical synthesis programmes that call for a discrete, high-assay tungsten precursor.
