Why Is Tungsten Tetrabromide Soluble in Benzene?

Tungsten tetrabromide can dissolve in benzene because of the interaction force and intermolecular compatibility between them.

Benzene is a non-polar organic solvent that lacks obvious polar functional groups because its molecular structure only contains carbon and hydrogen atoms. The bromine atom in the tungsten tetrabromide molecule has a certain electronegativity. Although benzene itself has no obvious solubility, the interaction of van der Waals force can occur between tungsten tetrabromide and benzene, which is a kind of attraction between non-polar substances.

During the dissolution process, benzene molecules and tungsten tetrabromide molecules interact through van der Waals forces to form a solvent envelope, so that tungsten tetrabromide molecules can be dispersed in the benzene solution. This interaction force helps to overcome the mutual attraction between tungsten tetrabromide molecules and make it dispersed in the solution to form a uniform mixed system.

Benzene is a volatile organic solvent, and some chemical reactions may occur or form coordination compounds when dissolving tungsten tetrabromide. Therefore, when using benzene as a solvent, attention should be paid to the reaction conditions and experimental operations to ensure safety and accuracy.
