Synthesis and characterization of heterobimetallic alkoxide derivatives of titanium containing triethanolaminate ligand

Abstract

Novel heterobimetallic triethanolaminate isopropoxide derivatives have been prepared by the 1:2 molar reaction of H₂Ti(OCH₂CH₂)₃N₃ with isopropoxides of aluminium, niobium or tantalum in refluxing benzene. The reactions of the above heterobimetallic alkoxide-triethanolaminate derivatives have been investigated with chelating ligands like acetylacetone and <i>t</i>-butyl alcohol to throw light on their structural features. All these novel derivatives have been characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight measurements and spectroscopic [IR, NMR (¹H, ²⁷Al)] studies.
