Abstract
Reaction of Ti(OCH2CH2OR)4 (RCH3 and C2H5) with 8-hydroxyquinoline in benzene at room temperature resulted in the formation of Ti(C9H6NO)2(OCH2CH2OR)2, characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, UV and mass spectroscopies. The molecular structure of Ti(C9H6NO)2(OCH2CH2OCH3)2 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. The geometry at titanium is a distorted octahedron, with the nitrogen atoms of quinolinate occupying the trans position with respect to oxygens of the 2-methoxyethoxy groups. The prepared quinolinate derivatives of titanium alkoxides are very stable towards hydrolysis and harsh conditions are required for hydrolytic cleavage. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
