Shape Controlled Synthesis of Nano-Sized Titanium(IV) Metal-Organic Frameworks
摘要:
A convenient method to synthesize shape controlled nano-sized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been explored to prepare some novel mixed-ligand complexes of titanium(IV) with the general formula [Ti(acac)Cl2-n(OOCC15H31)(SB)n] (where Hacac = acetylacetone, HSB = Schiff bases and n = 1 or 2). They have been synthesized by stepwise substitutions of chloride ions from titanium(IV) chloride. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, spectral, and TEM studies. Coordination number 7 and 8 was assigned for titanium(IV) in the complexes. The powder XRD, TEM, and SAED studies indicates that these complexes are nano-sized having poor crystalline nature.

Some mononuclear nano-sized, quaternary titanium(IV) complexes having the general formula [Ti(acac)(OOCR)(2)(SB)1 (where Hacac = acetylacetone, R=C15H31 or C17H35, HSB = Schiff bases) have been synthesized using different multidentate ligands. These were characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations and spectral (FTIR, H-1 NMR and powder XRD) studies. Conductance measurement indicated their non-conducting nature which may behave like insulators. Structural parameters like the values of limiting indices h, k, l, cell constants a, b, c, angles alpha, beta, gamma and particle size are calculated from powder XRD data for complex 1 which indicated nano-sized triclinic system in them. Bidentate chelating nature of acetylacetone, carboxylate and Schiff base anions in the complexes was established by their infrared spectra. Molecular weight determinations confirmed mononuclear nature of the complexes. On the basis of physico-chemical studies, coordination number 8 was assigned for titanium(IV) in the complexes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) studies indicated spherical particles with poor crystallinity. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
