Application

Vanadium Tetrachloride serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of Ziegler-Natta catalysts for olefin polymerization. It is also employed in the production of vanadium oxytrichloride (VOCl₃), a reagent for organic transformations. In materials science, VCl₄ is used for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of vanadium-containing thin films and as a dopant in advanced battery electrolytes. Its strong Lewis acidity makes it valuable in Friedel-Crafts and other catalytic reactions.
