Abstract: | The reactions of a few bifunctional and tridentate Schiff bases with titanium-(IV) and zirconium(IV) isopropoxides in equimolar and bimolar ratios are described. The resulting compounds have been obtained in almost quantitative yields and are of the general formulae M(SB)x(OPri)4?2X (where M = Ti or Zr; SB- = anion of the Schiff base SBH2 and x = 1 or 2). Their molecular weights have been determined ebullioscopically and IR spectra recorded. |
