Titanium(IV) acetate or titanium tetraacetate is a coordination complex and green chloroform soluble solid with the formula Ti(C2H3O2)4.[1] Crystallographic evidence has not been presented. It can be prepared by reacting tetramethyltitanium with acetic acid.[1]

History

edit

Titanium(IV) acetate has been discussed in archaic literature,[2] well before the advent of X-ray crystallography and an appreciation of the structural trends in metal carboxylate complexes.[3] A variety of titanium oxo acetates were prepared by reactions of titanium alkoxides and acetic acid.[4]

Uses

edit

Species claimed to be titanium(IV) acetate have been used in the production of bismuth titanate ferroelectric thin films. Titanium(IV) acetate is used in the step of making the acetate-derived solutions. The acetate derived solutions were created by blending acetic acid and bismuth acetate together and adding titanium(IV) acetate.[5] "Titanium(IV) acetate" is a substitute for antimony potassium tartrate(emetic tartar) when making red and brown dyes.[6]

edit

Ti(IV) complexes containing only carboxylate ligands have eluded crystallographic characterization, but various polycarboxylate species are known. One example is [Ti(edta)(OH2)].[7]
