Tungsten(III) chloride is the inorganic compound with the formula W6Cl18. It is a cluster compound. It is a brown solid, obtainable by chlorination of tungsten(II) chloride.[2] Featuring twelve doubly bridging chloride ligands, the cluster adopts a structure related to the corresponding chlorides of niobium and tantalum. In contrast, W6Cl12 features eight triply bridging chlorides.
A related mixed valence W(III)-W(IV) chloride is prepared by reduction of the hexachloride with bismuth:[3]
- 9 WCl6 + 8 Bi → 3 W3Cl10 + 8 BiCl3
