Complexation of titanium(IV) with a new reagent, 2,3,4-trihydroxy-3′-nitro-4′-sulfoazobenzene

A new reagent, 2,3,4-trihydroxy-3′-nitro-4′-sulfoazobenzene (H ₃ L) is synthesized and studied. The dissociation constants of the reagent are determined by potentiometric titration: $ pK_{a_1 } $ = 4.52 ± 0.02; $ pK_{a_2 } $ = 6.29 ± 0.05, and $ pK_{a_3 } $ = 6.60 ± 0.21. The reaction of Ti(IV) with H₃L in the presence and absence of Triton X-114 (Tr) gives monoand mixed-ligand complexes, with λ_max = 445 nm and λ_max = 435 nm, respectively, at pH 4.5; the stability constants of the complexes Ti(OH)₂(H₂L)₂ and Ti(H₂L)₂(Tr) are logβ₁₂ = 8.51 ± 0.04 and logβ₁₂ = 10.72 ± 0.05, respectively. The mono(1: 2) and mixed-ligand (1: 2: 2) complexes obey the Beer law in the Ti(IV) concentration ranges 0.10–3.10 and 0.10–1.34 μg/mL, respectively. The effects of foreign ions and masking agents on the determination of Ti(IV) with the new reagent are studied. A procedure is developed for the photometric determination of Ti(IV) in soil samples selected at the Surakhany production field.     

Phosphato, chromato, and perrhenato complexes of titanium(IV) and zirconium(IV) containing Kläui's tripodal ligand

Treatment of titanyl sulfate in dilute sulfuric acid with 1 equiv of NaL(OEt) (L(OEt)(-) = [(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))Co{P(O)(OEt)(2)](3)](-)) in the presence of Na(3)PO(4) and Na(4)P(2)O(7) led to isolation of [(L(OEt)Ti)(3)(mu-O)(3)(mu(3-)PO(4))] (1) and [(L(OEt)Ti)(2)(mu-O)(mu-P(2)O(7))] (2), respectively. The structure of 1 consists of a Ti(3)O(3) core capped by a mu(3)-phosphato group. In 2, the [P(2)O(7)](4-) ligands binds to the two Ti's in a mu:eta(2),eta(2) fashion. Treatment of titanyl sulfate in dilute sulfuric acid with NaL(OEt) and 1.5 equiv of Na(2)Cr(2)O(7) gave [(L(OEt)Ti)(2)(mu-CrO(4))(3)] (3) that contains two L(OEt)Ti(3+) fragments bridged by three mu-CrO(4)(2-)-O,O' ligands. Complex 3 can act as a 6-electron oxidant and oxidize benzyl alcohol to give ca. 3 equiv of benzaldehyde. Treatment of [L(OEt)Ti(OTf)(3)] (OTf(-) = triflate) with [n-Bu(4)N][ReO(4)] afforded [[L(OEt)Ti(ReO(4))(2)](2)(mu-O)] (4). Treatment of [L(OEt)MF(3)] (M = Ti and Zr) with 3 equiv of [ReO(3)(OSiMe(3))] afforded [L(OEt)Ti(ReO(4))(3)] (5) and [L(OEt)Zr(ReO(4))(3)(H(2)O)] (6), respectively. Treatment of [L(OEt)MF(3)] with 2 equiv of [ReO(3)(OSiMe(3))] afforded [L(OEt)Ti(ReO(4))(2)F] (7) and [[L(OEt)Zr(ReO(4))(2)](2)(mu-F)(2)] (8), respectively, which reacted with Me(3)SiOTf to give [L(OEt)M(ReO(4))(2)(OTf)] (M = Ti (9), Zr (10)). Hydrolysis of [L(OEt)Zr(OTf)(3)] (11) with Na(2)WO(4).xH(2)O and wet CH(2)Cl(2) afforded the hydroxo-bridged complexes [[L(OEt)Zr(H(2)O)](3)(mu-OH)(3)(mu(3)-O)][OTf](4) (12) and [[L(OEt)Zr(H(2)O)(2)](2)(mu-OH)(2)][OTf](4) (13), respectively. The solid-state structures of 1-3, 6, and 11-13 have been established by X-ray crystallography. The L(OEt)Ti(IV) complexes can catalyze oxidation of methyl p-tolyl sulfide with tert-butyl hydroperoxide. The bimetallic Ti/ Re complexes 5 and 9 were found to be more active catalysts for the sulfide oxidation than other Ti(IV) complexes presumably because Re alkylperoxo species are involved as the reactive intermediates.

Kinetics of the thermal dehydration of potassium titanium oxalate, K2TiO(C2O4)2·2H2O

The thermal dehydration reaction of potassium titanium oxalate, K₂TiO(C₂O₄)₂·2H₂O, has been studied by means of thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in nitrogen atmosphere at different heating rates. K₂TiO(C₂O₄)₂·2H₂O dehydrates in a single step through a practically irreversible process. The activation energy involved and its dependence on the conversion degree were estimated by evaluating the thermogravimetric data according to model-free methods, and values of activation energy were determined for the dehydration reaction. Activation energy values were also evaluated from DSC data using isoconversional methods. The complexity of the dehydration of K₂TiO(C₂O₄)₂·2H₂O is illustrated by the dependence of E on the extent of conversion, ?? (0.05??????????0.95).

Syntheses, structure, and a Mössbauer and magnetic study of Ba(4)Fe(2)I(5)S(4)

The compound Ba4Fe2I5S4 has been prepared at 1223-1123 K by the "U-assisted" reaction of FeS, BaS, S, and U with BaI2 as a flux. A more rational synthesis was also found; however, the presence of U appears to be essential for the formation of single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies. Ba4Fe2I5S4 crystallizes in a new structure type with two formula units in space group I4/m of the tetragonal system. The structure consists of a Ba-I network penetrated by (1)infinity[Fe2S4] chains. Each Fe atom, which is located on a site with 4 symmetry, is tetrahedrally coordinated to four S atoms. The FeS4 tetrahedra edge-share to form linear (1)infinity[Fe2S4] chains in the [001] direction. The Fe-Fe interatomic distance in these chains is 2.5630(4) A, only about 3% longer than the shortest Fe-Fe distance in -Fe metal. Charge balance dictates that the average formal oxidation state of Fe in these chains is +2.5. The M?ssbauer spectra obtained at 85 and 270 K comprise a single quadrupole doublet that has hyperfine parameters consistent with an average Fe oxidation state of +2.5. The M?ssbauer spectrum obtained at 4.2 K consists of a single magnetic sextet with a small hyperfine field of -15.5 T. This spectrum is also consistent with rapid electron delocalization and an average Fe oxidation state of +2.5. The molar magnetic susceptibility of Ba4Fe2I5S4, obtained between 3.4 and 300 K, qualitatively indicates the presence of weak pseudo-one-dimensional ferromagnetic exchange within a linear chain above 100 K and weak three-dimensional ordering between the chains at lower temperatures.     

An approach to heterometallic alkoxide-β-diketonate complexes with a M4O4 cubane-like core and new prospects of their application in preparation of solid catalysts. X-ray single crystal study of (Co,Ni)4(acac)4(μ3-OMe)4(MeOH)4, Co2Ni2(acac)4(μ3-OMe)4(OAc)2 and Mg4(acac)4(μ3-OMe)4(MeOH)4

The interaction of the individual M₄(acac)₄(μ₃-OMe)₄(MeOH)₄ complexes, M=Co, Ni in toluene/methanol media provided crystals of (Co,Ni)₄(acac)₄(μ₃-OMe)₄(MeOH)₄ (I) — the product of co-crystallization of isomorphous products. The oxidation of a MeOH solution of I in air in the presence of NaOAc and aminoalcohols as catalysts gave Co₂Ni₂(acac)₄(μ₃-OMe)₄(OAc)₂ (II), an individual heterometallic derivative. The interaction of Mg(OCH(CH₃)CH₂NMe₂)₂ with Cu(acac)₂ in toluene/methanol media produced Mg₄(acac)₄(μ₃-OMe)₄(MeOH)₄ (III) as the only isolatable product. The starting Co and Ni homometallic complexes as well as the heterometallic CoNi complex II were used to prepare the zeolite-supported oxide catalysts which exhibited extremely high activity towards methanol oxidation.     

Conversion of E4 (E4=P4, As4, AsP3) by Ni(0) and Ni(I) Synthons – A Comparative Study

The reactivity of white phosphorus and yellow arsenic towards two different nickel nacnac complexes is investigated. The nickel complexes [(L¹Ni)₂tol] ( 1 , L¹=[{N(C₆H₃ⁱPr₂-2,6)C(Me)}₂CH]⁻) and [K₂][(L¹Ni)₂(μ,η^{1 : 1}-N₂)] ( 6 ) were reacted with P₄, As₄ and the interpnictogen compound AsP₃, respectively, yielding the homobimetallic complexes [(L¹Ni)₂(μ-η²,κ¹:η²,κ¹-E₄)] (E=P ( 2 a ), As ( 2 b ), AsP₃ ( 2 c )), [(L¹Ni)₂(μ,η^{3 : 3}-E₃)] (E=P ( 3 a ), As ( 3 b )) and [K@18-c-6(thf)₂][L¹Ni(η^{1 : 1}-E₄)] (E=P ( 7 a ), As ( 7 b )), respectively. Heating of 2 a , 2 b or 2 c also leads to the formation of 3 a or 3 b . Furthermore, the reactivity of these compounds towards reduction agents was investigated, leading to [K₂][(L¹Ni)₂(μ,η^{2 : 2}-P₄)] ( 4 ) and [K@18-c-6(thf)₃][(L¹Ni)₂(μ,η^{3 : 3}-E₃)] (E=P ( 5 a ), As ( 5 b )), respectively. Compound 4 shows an unusual planarization of the initial Ni₂P₄-prism. All products were comprehensively characterized by crystallographic and spectroscopic methods.     

Synthesis,mesomorphic and dielectric properties of 4-(cyanomethoxy)phenyl 4-alkoxybenzoates, 4-(cyanomethoxy)-4′-alkoxyazo- and -azoxybenzenes

Preparation methods were developed for homologs of 4-(cyanomethoxy)phenyl 4-alkoxybenzoates (C₇, C₈, C₉), 4-(cyanomethoxy)-4′-alkoxyazo (C₂, C₃, C₆), -azoxybenzenes (C₃, C₆) whose composition and structure were proved by elemental analysis and ¹H NMR spectra. 4-(Cyanomethoxy) group destabilizes the mesophase, consequently, only four among the compounds obtained exhibit the thermotropic nematic mesomorphism.     

The conversion of multinuclear μ-oxo titanium(IV) species in the reaction of Ti(O(i)Bu)4 with branched organic acids; results of structural and spectroscopic studies

Crystalline materials have been synthesized in reactions of titanium(iv) tetraisobutoxide with branched organic acids (HOOCR', R' = CMe(2)Et, (t)Bu, CH(2)(t)Bu) in the molar ratio 1:1 at room temperature under Ar atmosphere. Particular attention has been paid to the structural and spectral characterization of metastable intermediate complexes of general formula [Ti(7)O(9)(O(i)Bu)(4)(HO(i)Bu)(OOCCMe(2)Et)(6)](2) (1) and [Ti(6)O(5)(O(i)Bu)(6)(OOC(t)Bu)(8)] (3), and their conversion towards more structurally stable compounds [Ti(6)O(6)(O(i)Bu)(6)(OOCC(Me)(2)Et)(6)] (2) and [Ti(6)O(6)(H(2)O)(2)(O(i)Bu)(6)(OOC(t)Bu)(6)] (4). The hexanuclear structure of (5) ([Ti(6)O(6)(O(i)Bu)(6)(OOCCH(2)(t)Bu)(6)]) has been postulated on the basis of IR and (13)C NMR spectroscopic data analysis. The possible reaction pathways which may occur during the formation of the above mentioned compounds are also discussed.     

Synthesis and electrochemical characterization of β-tetra-(2-isopropyl-5-methylphenoxylphthalocyaninato)titanium(IV) Oxide

A β-4-(2-isopropyl-5-methylphenoxylphthalocyaninato)titanium(IV) oxide (TiOPc) was prepared and characterized by MS, ¹H NMR, and elemental analysis. Cyclic voltammograms show that this TiOPc has two quasi-reversible reduction couples and two quasi-reversible to irreversible oxidations processes. The first reductions are two-electron processes, confirmed by spectroelectrochemistry to be due to Ti^IVPc²⁻/Ti^IIIPc³⁻ redox processes. The second reductions are two-electron processes during which Ti^IIIPc³⁻ was reduced to Ti^IIIPc⁵⁻ species. Spectroelectrochemistry showed that oxidation occurs at the ring during the first oxidation. However, spectroelectrochemistry also showed that upon the second oxidation, the molecule decomposes. Chronocoulometry confirmed transfer of two electrons at the first and second reduction steps. Published in Elektrokhimiya in Russian, 2008, Vol. 44, No. 12, pp. 1466–1472.

Gas-phase photocatalytic oxidation of benzene over titanium dioxide loaded on Bi_(12)TiO_(20)

TiO2 was prepared by sol-gel method using tetrabutyl titanate as precursor. TiO2 was loaded on Bi12TiO20. The photocatalyst with different TiO2 loading was calcined at 723 K. The photocatalytic activity of decomposition gaseous benzene was investigated in a batch reactor. The prepared photocatalyst was characterized by UV-vis diffuse reflectance. The result showed that TiO2/Bi12TiO20 absorbed much more ultraviolet light than Ti02 in the ultraviolet light region and showed red shift. The results indicated that the prepared photocatalyst can greatly promote the photocatalytic activity. The 2.0% TiO2/Bi12TiO20 system exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity.

These complexes showed selective inhibition activity against cisplatin-insensitive cell line Skov3.     

Preparation and characterization of Cp-functionalized cycloheptatrienyl–cyclopentadienyl titanium sandwich complexes (troticenes)

Cp-functionalized monotroticenes [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄E)] (2, E = Ph₂SiCl; 3, E = tBu₂SnCl; 12, E = I) and bitroticenes [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄)]₂E′ (5, E′ = PPh; 6, E′ = BN(SiMe₃)₂; 7, E′ = Cp₂Ti) were prepared by salt elimination metathesis between the monolithiated troticene [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄Li)]·pmdta (1b) (pmdta = N,N′,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylene-triamine) and the appropriate electrophile. The troticenyl-substituted zirconocene monochloride [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄ZrClCp*₂)] (Cp* = η⁵-C₅Me₅) (8) and hafnocene ethoxide [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Ti{η⁵-C₅H₄Hf(OEt)Cp₂}] (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅) (11), and the heterobimetallic μ-oxo complexes [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄MCp₂)]₂O (9, M = Zr; 10, M = Hf) were obtained instead of the expected zircona- and hafna[1]troticenophanes by reaction of the dilithiated troticene [(η⁷-C₇H₆Li)Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄Li)]·pmdta (1a) with [Cp₂MCl₂] (M = Zr, Hf) or [Cp*₂ZrCl₂] in stoichiometric amounts. These compounds were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and, in the case of 2, 3, 5–7, 9, 10 and 12, also by elemental analyses and ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy. Exposure of the troticenyl organotin chloride 3 to moisture resulted in its partial hydrolysis and formation of the organostannoxane-bridged bitroticene 4, while palladium-catalyzed Negishi C–C cross-coupling reaction between the troticenylzinc chloride [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄ZnCl)] (13) and the iodotroticene 12 or iodobenzene (PhI) led to the fulvalene complexes [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄)]₂ (14) and [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Ti(η⁵-C₅H₄Ph)] (15). Compound 4 displays an unsymmetrical structure with the troticenyl fragments cis with respect to the Sn–O–Sn core, whereas compound 14 is centrosymmetrically trans oriented.

Depth profiling of titanium using a resonance in 48Ti(p,γ)49V nuclear reaction

Depth profiling of titanium using the resonances at 1,007, 1,013 and 1,362 keV in ⁴⁸Ti(p,γ)⁴⁹V nuclear reaction (E _γ  = 7.9 MeV) has been investigated. The resonance at 1,362 keV with a detection sensitivity of ~5.1 × 10²⁰ at. cm^?3 (~ 1 at.%), probing depth of ~800 nm and a depth resolution of ~24 nm in silicon is best suited for analytical applications. Lower probing depth and lesser detection sensitivity are the major limitations of the two other resonances. The applicability of the resonance at 1,362 keV is demonstrated by depth profiling Ti in Pd (32 nm)/Ti (57 nm)/Mg (300 nm)/Ti (57 nm)/Si multi-layered coating.
