Preparation of titanium(III) coordination complexes

摘要

Ti(III) coordination complexes with ethers are prepared by the steps of (a) forming an ether complex of a Ti(IV) salt by adding a stoichiometric excess of an ether to said salt, and then (b) reducing said complex with an organometallic reducing agent such as an aluminum alkyl or a lithium compound to form a Ti(III)-ether coordination complex.
