六羰基钨

基材原子序数：74钨

Tungsten hexacarbonyl is an organometallic compound that looks like a white crystalline solid. It is volatile and stable in inert environments. While it doesn′t dissolve well in water, it dissolves easily in non-polar organic solvents. This compound is mainly used in organometallic chemistry and materials science, especially for depositing tungsten films using chemical vapor deposition(CVD).

Tungsten hexacarbonyl is used as a

• Reducing agent in the synthesis of uniform single and binary metal nanoparticles, for applications in catalysis, electronics, and materials science.
• Shape-directing agent in the low-temperature synthesis of non-spherical nickel nanocrystals, enabling the controlled formation of fivefold twinned nanorods and nanocubes with room-temperature ferromagnetic properties.
• Precursor in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition to synthesize Rhenium-Tungsten(Re–W) nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes
• Precursor in the aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition of WO₃ thin films, enabling the fabrication of hybrid heterojunction gas sensors with high sensitivity and stability for ammonia detection at room temperature.
• As an organometallic precursor to create metal-containing nanostructures in electron beam induced deposition (EBID).
• As a precursor for catalysts in alkene metathesis and ligand substitution reactions. It is commonly used in organometallic synthesis, as one or more CO ligands can be replaced by other donor ligands.
