About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Tantalum pentachloride CAS number: 7721-01-9 Tacl5 powder

1. Tantalum pentachloride Basic information

Chemical formula: TaCl₅ English name: Tantalum (V) chloride or Tantalic Chloride Molecular weight: 358.213 CAS number: 7721-01-9 EINECS number: 231-755-6

2. Tantalum pentachloride Physical properties

Appearance: white or light yellow crystalline powder Melting point: 221°C (some data also give a melting point of 216°C, which may be due to slight differences caused by different preparation methods and purity) Boiling point: 242°C Density: 3.68g/cm³ (at 25°C) Solubility: Soluble in absolute alcohol, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulfide, thiophenol and potassium hydroxide, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in sulfuric acid (but some data indicate that it can soluble in sulfuric acid). The solubility in aromatic hydrocarbons increases according to the trend of benzene < toluene < m-xylene < mesitylene, and the color of the solution deepens from light yellow to orange.

3. Tantalum pentachloride Chemical properties

Stability: The chemical properties are not very stable and will decompose and generate tantalic acid in humid air or water. Structure: Tantalum pentachloride is a dimer in the solid state, with two tantalum atoms connected by two chlorine bridges. In the gaseous state, tantalum pentachloride is a monomer and exhibits a triangular bipyramidal structure. Reactivity: Tantalum pentachloride is a strong Lewis acid and can react with Lewis bases to form adducts. It can react with a variety of compounds, such as ethers, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus oxychloride, tertiary amines, etc.

4. Tantalum pentachloride Preparation method

Reaction of tantalum and chlorine: Tantalum pentachloride can be prepared by reacting powder metal tantalum with chlorine at 170~250°C. This reaction can also be performed using HCl at 400°C. Reaction of tantalum pentoxide and thionyl chloride: At 240°C, tantalum pentachloride can also be obtained by reacting tantalum pentoxide and thionyl chloride.

5. Tantalum pentachloride Application

Chlorinating agent for organic compounds: Tantalum pentachloride can be used as a chlorinating agent for organic compounds to promote chlorination reactions. Chemical intermediates: In the chemical industry, tantalum pentachloride is used as a raw material for the preparation of ultra-high purity tantalum metal and chemical intermediates. Preparation of tantalum: Metal tantalum can be prepared by hydrogen reduction of tantalum pentachloride. This method involves depositing tantalum from the gas phase on a heated substrate support to produce a dense metal, or reducing tantalum chloride with hydrogen in an ebullating bed to produce spherical tantalum powder. Other applications: Tantalum pentachloride is also used in the preparation of optical glass, intermediates of tantalum carbide, and in the electronics industry as a raw material for the preparation of tantalate and rubidium tantalate. In addition, it is used in the manufacture of dielectrics and is widely used in the preparation of surface polishing deburring and anti-corrosion agents.

6. Tantalum pentachloride Safety information

Hazard Description: Tantalum pentachloride is corrosive, harmful if swallowed, and can cause severe burns. Safety Terms: S26: After eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. S36/37/39: Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. S45: In the event of an accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label if possible). Risk terms: R22: Harmful if swallowed. R34: Causes burns. Storage and transportation: Tantalum pentachloride should be stored in a sealed container to avoid contact with moist air or water. During storage and transportation, the warehouse should be kept ventilated, low-temperature, and dry, and avoid being stored separately from oxidants, cyanides, etc.
