Abstract
Titanium(IV) chloride and the triester glycerol tribenzoate (gtb) were reacted under moisture-free conditions in order to investigate the use of triester-containing oils in the purification of TiCl4 in industrial processes. This resulted in the isolation of a chloro-bridged dimeric complex containing four titanium centres [{(TiCl4)2(gtb)}2] (1). Further novel coordination compounds of TiCl4 and the diesters; diisopropyl malonate, dibenzyl malonate and diethyl succinate were synthesised by direct reaction under moisture-free conditions, yielding [TiCl4{CH2(COOiPr)2}] (2), [TiCl4{CH2(COOCH2Ph)2}] (3) and [TiCl4{C2H4(COOEt)2}] (4) respectively. The structures of compounds 1–4 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All structures assumed an octahedral geometry consisting of the titanium bound to four chloride ligands and the diester molecule acting as a bidentate ligand, through its two carbonyl oxygen atoms. Exposure of the isopropyl malonate reaction to trace amounts of water during synthesis resulted in the formation of an oxo-bridged dimeric structure [Ti2(μ-O)Cl3{CH2(COOiPr)2}2] (2b), the structure of which was also obtained via single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
