Abstract
We report the synthesis and structural characterisation of two titanium(IV) complexes. A new titanium(IV) complex bearing four picolinato ligands, denoted as Ti(pic)4, has been prepared under solvothermal conditions. This complex identified by single-crystal diffraction is a new example of an octacoordinated environment for titanium(IV) and is close to an ideal triangular dodecahedron. A second synthesis of a hexaprismatric carboxylato titanium complex formulated as [Ti6(μ3-O)6(OiPr) 6(μ-O2CC5H3NCOOiPr)6] starting from a dissymmetric anhydride pyridine carboxylic precursor is described. The solid-state analysis shows the presence of a single compound among 13 possible species. Calculations gave evidence of a highly selective mechanism leading to the formation of the final product. The structural characterisation of two titanium(IV) complexes bearing pyridinecarboxylato ligands is reported. An uncommon octacoordinated complex was obtained by treating picolinic acid with titanium isopropoxide. A second complex formulated as [Ti6(μ3-O)6(OiPr)6(μ-O 2CC5H3NCOOiPr)6] was prepared from titanium isopropoxide and a dissymmetric anhydride pyridine carboxylic precursor.
