W(CO)6
ceramic· W(CO)6
W(CO)6, or tungsten hexacarbonyl, is an organometallic compound consisting of a tungsten metal center bonded to six carbon monoxide ligands. This is a research and specialty chemical material rather than a structural ceramic, primarily used in synthesis and catalytic applications rather than load-bearing engineering contexts. It serves as a precursor for tungsten-containing catalysts, carbonylation reactions, and thin-film deposition processes, with particular value in organic synthesis, homogeneous catalysis, and the production of advanced coatings where its ability to transfer carbonyl groups or generate reactive tungsten species is exploited.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
