Titanium (IV ) fluoride is an inorganic chemical compound of titanium selected from the group of the fluorides.

Production and representation

Titanium (IV ) fluoride can be obtained with hydrofluoric acid by the reaction of titanium ( IV) chloride.

Properties

Titanium (IV ) fluoride is a colorless loose very hygroscopic powder, which reacts with water to hiss. The compound crystallizes in its own structure type whose characteristic feature insulated from each other, composed of TiF6 octahedra columns ( columnar ), whose space group with a = Pnma-D16/2h 228.1, b = 384.8, c = 956.8 pm and Z = 12

Use

Titanium (IV ) fluoride is used to aldehydes and imines for the synthesis of glycosyl fluorides, Fluorhydrinen and the addition of carbanions. It also serves as a catalyst for chemoselective synthesis and deprotection of geminal diacetates from aldehydes. It has also been studied the use in toothpaste.
