title: Synthesis and molecular structures of some new titanium(IV) aryloxides.
abstract: The coordination chemistry of model phenolic ligands (pyrocatechol, salicylic acid, and 2,2'-biphenol) that are able to form respectively five-, six-, or seven-membered rings with titanium(IV) alkoxides is investigated. With pyrocatechol, a polynuclear complex containing 10 Ti atoms was characterized with a not very common doubly bridging mu3-(O,O,O',O') coordination mode. With salicylic acid, a monomeric tris(chelate) complex was obtained. With 2,2'-biphenol, a polynuclear complex containing six Ti atoms was obtained showing both mu2-(O,O') and mu2-(O,O,O') coordination modes for the ligands. Intermolecular interactions in the solid state for these three new compounds are also quantitatively discussed using the partial charge model.
