Abstract
Abstract Vanadium tetrachloride is stabilized by the addition of minor but stabilizing amounts of an acyl halide, benzoyl chloride being especially preferred. The vanadium tetrachloride may be dissolved in an inert organic solvent; hydrocarbons such as hexane are preferred. The stabilized vanadium tetrachloride may be utilized subsequently in polymerization processes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
A method of stabilizing vanadium tetrachloride against decomposition into vanadium trichloride which comprises incorporating therein an amount of an acyl halide effective to preclude said decomposition, wherein said acyl halide is of the formula ##STR2## in which R is a bond or a C 1-6 alkyl, alkylene, aryl or arylene group, n is 0 or 1 and X is halogen, and wherein the amount of said acyl halide ranges from about 0.1 to 10 mol % of vanadium.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
78 words
A method of stabilizing vanadium tetrachloride against decomposition into vanadium trichloride which comprises incorporating therein an amount of an acyl halide effective to preclude said decomposition, wherein said acyl halide is of the formula ##STR2## in which R is a bond or a C 1-6 alkyl, alkylene, aryl or arylene group, n is 0 or 1 and X is halogen, and wherein the amount of said acyl halide ranges from about 0.1 to 10 mol % of vanadium.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
