COORDINATION COMPLEXES OF TITANIUM (IV) HALIDES: IV. PREPARATION AND INFRARED SPECTRA OF THE COMPLEXES OF TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE WITH CHLORINE-SUBSTITUTED ESTERS OF MONOBASIC ACIDS AS LIGANDS

Abstract

Coordination complexes between titanium tetrachloride and some chlorine-substituted monoesters have been prepared.Infrared spectra of these complexes and their melting points indicate that the strength of the coordination bonds decreases as the number of chlorines increases in the acid radical. When the substitution is in the alkyl radical, it is possible to prepare complexes of the formula TiCl_4•2 ester, since the chlorine substitution decreases the basic properties of the oxygen of the ether group in the ligand.
