General description

Vanadium(III) chloride is a crystalline solid with variable oxidation states. It is widely used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, polymerization processes, and redox batteries. It acts as a reducing agent.

Application

Vanadium chloride may be used as a reduction agent to determine nitrates and nitrites in water samples.It may be used in redox flow batteries. Vanadium trichloride catalyses Pinacol coupling reactions of benzaldehyde in water. it also acts as a mild and efficient catalyst for the chemoselective deprotection of acetonides.
