title: Remarkable thermodynamic stability toward hydrolysis of tripodal titanium alkoxides.
abstract: The monomeric titanium(IV) hydroxide complex, LTi(OH)(LH(3)= tris(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)amine), which is sterically inhibited from condensation to a mu-oxo dimer, cannot be prepared by hydrolysis of the alkoxide, with K(eq)= 0.012 for hydrolysis of the titanium methoxide in THF.
