Zirconium(~v) carboxylates, Zr(OOCR)4 where R = Me, Et, CHZCl, CHCl, and CCI,, have been prepared by the reaction of zirconium(~v) chloride and carboxylic acids. The compounds have been characterized by elementary analyses, thermogravimetry and infrared spectral data. The compounds are non-electrolytes in nitrobenzene and probably have polymeric structures.
Titanium(IV) chloride
reacts with formic acid to give the disubstituted product, Cl2Ti(OOCH)2,
at low temperatures and the hydrolysed product (OH)2Ti(OOCH)2
at higher temperatures. These compounds have been characterized by elementary
analysis, infrared and thermal measurements. The possibility of these
solvolysed products acting as Lewis acids has also been explored.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
