Bis(butylcyclopentadienyl)tungsten(IV) dichloride

It is used mainly as an organometallic tungsten precursor and reagent. Typical roles include the deposition of tungsten-containing thin films, the synthesis of other organotungsten complexes, and catalysis and inorganic-chemistry research that requires a defined tungsten(IV) metallocene.

Its CAS number is 87695-18-9 and its empirical formula is C18H26Cl2W (Hill notation), corresponding to a molecular weight of 497.15 g/mol. The MDL number is MFCD02093657.

Tech Serve Solutions supplies this material as a research/technical-grade solid with a typical assay of 97%. We do not represent it as USP, BP or EP pharmacopoeia grade. A certificate of analysis can be provided with each batch on request.

Handle it only as a trained chemist using suitable personal protective equipment: eye shields, gloves and an N95 (US) or P1 (EN143) respirator filter where dust may be generated. It is classified WGK 3 (severely water-hazardous in Germany), so prevent release to drains, soil or watercourses and follow the supplied documentation and local regulations.

The supplied data does not indicate any narcotic, precursor or drug-control scheduling for this compound. It is handled as a standard research chemical, subject to the usual chemical-safety and environmental controls such as its WGK 3 water-hazard classification.

It is packed in tightly closed, appropriately labelled containers sized to the order, with batch documentation. Tech Serve Solutions handles export logistics and documentation worldwide; air-freight and other modes are arranged in line with the applicable transport regulations for the consignment.
