On the water promoted reaction of titanium isopropoxide with carbon dioxideElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: experimental details. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/cc/b3/b307217g/

Abstract

Insertion of carbon dioxide into titanium isopropoxide takes place only in the presence of trace quantities of water to give an isopropyl carbonato cluster which has been crystallographically characterised.

Room temperature metathesis of aryl isocyanates and aromatic aldehydes catalyzed by group(IV) metal alkoxides: An experimental and computational study

“…It is also known that the insertion reaction of carbon dioxide with titanium(IV) isopropoxide takes place only in the presence of one fourth equivalents of water [12]. In this study it has been found that the imine never undergoes insertion into the Ti-O bond.…”

Ti8O8(OOCR)16, a New Family of Titanium–Oxo Clusters: Potential NBUs for Reticular Chemistry

“…The linkage between the octahedra shows variations; the main difference between the cluster types is the ratio between shared vertices and edges. The titanium atoms are connected by μ 2 -oxo and μ 3 -oxo bridges {μ 4 -oxo in [Ti 4 O 2 (OiPr) 10 (OOCR) 2 ] [15,51] }. The presence of at least one μ 3 -oxo bridge in these structures enables most of the carboxylate-substituted Ti-oxo clusters to be described as substructures of the cubic [Ti 4 O 4 ] motif.…”

Reversible double insertion of aryl isocyanates into the Ti–O bond of titanium(IV) isopropoxide

“…The plane of the phenyl ring was found to be 36°with respect to the plane containing the Ti-N-C-O. In an analogous reaction of carbon dioxide, it was recently found that the carbonate prefers a bridging mode [20]. Carboxylate groups also prefer to have a bridging mode [21].…”
