| Abstract: | Summary. The molecular structure of the transition metal alkoxide Zr(OnBu)4 in toluene and its modification by addition of i-propanol, tetrahydrofurane, and the coordinating ligand pentane-1,3-dione (Hacac) were investigated by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy.
Zr(OnBu)4 dissolved in toluene forms dimers. It was proved that cluster size is a function of the number of added equivalents ligand.
In contrast, the addition of i-propanol or tetrahydrofurane caused no structural changes observable by EXAFS spectroscopy. A detailed discussion of the
structural models is given in terms of possible alternatives and errors within the EXAFS analysis. |
