Tungsten(V) chloride is an inorganic compound with the formula W2Cl10. This compound is analogous in many ways to the more familiar molybdenum pentachloride.The material is prepared by reduction of tungsten hexachloride. One method involves the use of tetrachloroethylene as the reductant:2 WCl6 + C2Cl4 → W2Cl10 + C2Cl6The blue green solid is volatile under vacuum and slightly soluble in nonpolar solvents.
