Abstract

Stoichiometric reaction of 8-hydroxyquinoline with titanium tetraethoxide, and zirconium and hafnium tetra-2-propoxide in toluene at room temperature resulted in formation of M-2--(OR)(2)-(C9H6NO)(2)(OR)(2) (1: M=Ti, R=Et; 2: M=Zr, R=Pr-i; 3: M=Hf, R=Pr-i). All complexes were characterised by infrared, ultraviolet-visible, and NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of 1, 2, and 3 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination geometries around the metal ions are distorted octahedral, which share an edge through bridged alkoxy groups. Each anionic 8-quinolinolate ligand is also chelated to one metal ion through its pyridine nitrogen and phenolate oxygen atoms.
