  Tungsten(VI) oxytetrachloride, WOCl4, is a diamagnetic solid used to prepare other tungsten complexes. The orange-colored compound is soluble in nonpolar solvents, while it reacts with alcohols and water and forms adducts with Lewis bases. |  [Preparation]
  It consists of weakly associated square pyramidal monomers.
WOCl4 is formed from WO3 or WCl6. WO3 + 2SOCl2→WOCl4+2SO2 WCl6 + (Me3Si )2O→WOCl4+ 2Me3SiCl |  [reaction suitability]
