Thermal studies of some aryloxides of titanium(IV)

Abstract

Thermal behaviour of aryloxides of titanium(IV) of composition TiCln(OArh-n (where n = 033 and OAr = OC6H4But-4, OC6H4OMe-4 and OC6H2-Bu~-2,6-Me-4) has been studied by DTA and TG analysis. Multiple decomposition steps have been indicated by thermal weight losses which are both exothermic and endothermic as shown by DTA curves. ' Based upon the total % loss in weighf during entire decomposition titanium dioxide has been found to be the final residue in each case.

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of aryloxide derivatives of titanium(IV) and zirconium(IV)

“…The attention has mainly been on: (i) their methods of syntheses, coordination chemistry, and structural features [2À9], (ii) their potential use in solÀgel and thermal processes [10] for metal oxide synthesis, and (iii) their activity in carrying out stoichiometric and catalytic transformations [11À14].…”
