title: An unsupported metal hydroxide for the design of molecular μ-oxo bridged heterobimetallic complexes.
abstract: A terminal and unsupported chromium(III) hydroxide is reported. The terminal hydroxide is used to synthesize the first example of a heterobimetallic Ti-O-Cr compound containing an unsupported μ-oxo bridge. The heterobimetallic complex exhibits a new absorbance at 288 nm (4.32 eV), which is assigned to a metal-to-metal charge transfer (MMCT) transition.
