Tetrachloroethylene, also known as perchloroethylene, has the mf: C₂Cl₄ and mw: 165.83. It exists as a colorless, transparent liquid at room temperature with a faint ether-like odor. It exhibits strong chemical stability, is non-flammable and non-explosive, and is a typical non-polar organic solvent. Possessing non-flammable properties, strong solvent power, and moderate volatility, tetrachloroethylene exhibits typical halogenated olefin reactivity. It undergoes addition and substitution reactions, forms coupling reactions with metals like sodium and magnesium, and serves as a solvent or monomer in polymerization reactions.
