Abstract

The reactions between Ti(O(i)Pr)(4) and Zr(2)(O(i)Pr)(8)(HO(i)Pr)(2), respectively, and lead 2-ethylhexanoate Pb(O(2)CC(7)H(15))(2) have been investigated at rt and by heating. The initial mixed-metal species, characterized by single-crystal X-Ray diffraction, were adducts namely Pb(4)Zr(4)(mu-O(2)CR')(8)(mu-OR)(6)(mu(3)-OR)(2)(OR)(8)(OHR)(2) and Pb(2)Ti(4)(mu-O(2)CR')(4)(mu-OR)(6)(mu(3)-OR)(2)(OR)(8) (R' = CHCH(Et)C(2)H(4)Me, R = (i)Pr) independently of the stoichiometry used. They are the first Pb-Ti and Pb-Zr non-oxo carboxylatoalkoxides reported. is also the first Pb-Zr species based on an alkoxide-carboxylate ligand set matching the PbZrO(3) stoichiometry. Both structures are centrosymmetric with six-coordinate transition metals, as required for the perovskite, and are based on triangular M(2)Pb cores (M = Zr, Ti). The lead centers display quite high coordination numbers, six and seven. The thermal and hydrolytic condensation reactions of and were investigated. Heat treatment of and elimination of the volatiles under vacuum afforded Pb(2)Ti(3)(mu(4)-O)(mu(3)-O)(mu-O(2)CC(7)H(15))(2)(mu-O(i)Pr)(6)(O(i)Pr)(4) resulting from extrusion of Ti(O(i)Pr)(4) and scrambling of carboxylate ligands. Characterization of the various compounds was achieved by elemental analysis, FT-IR, (1)H and (207)Pb NMR.

Lead

Lead Bohr ModelSee more Lead products. Lead (atomic symbol: Pb, atomic number: 82) is a Block P, Group 14, Period 6 element with an atomic radius of 207.2. The number of electrons in each of Lead's shells is [2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 4] and its electron configuration is [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p2. The lead atom has a radius of 175 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 202 pm. In its elemental form, lead has a metallic gray appearance. Lead occurs naturally as a mixture of four stable isotopes: 204Pb (1.48%), 206Pb (23.6%), 207Pb (22.6%), and 208Pb (52.3%). Elemental LeadLead is obtained mainly from galena (PbS) by a roasting process. Anglesite, cerussite, and minim are other common lead containing minerals. Lead does occur as a free element in nature, but it is rare. It is a dense, soft metal that is very resistant to corrosion and poorly conductive compared to other metals. Its density and low melting point make it useful in applications such as electrolysis and industrial materials.

Titanium

See more Titanium products. Titanium (atomic symbol: Ti, atomic number: 22) is a Block D, Group 4, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 47.867. The number of electrons in each of Titanium's shells is [2, 8, 10, 2] and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d2 4s2. Titanium Bohr ModelThe titanium atom has a radius of 147 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 187 pm. Titanium was discovered by William Gregor in 1791 and first isolated by Jöns Jakob Berzelius in 1825. In its elemental form, titanium has a silvery grey-white metallic appearance. Titanium's properties are chemically and physically similar to zirconium, both of which have the same number of valence electrons and are in the same group in the periodic table. Elemental TitaniumTitanium has five naturally occurring isotopes: 46Ti through 50Ti, with 48Ti being the most abundant (73.8%). Titanium is found in igneous rocks and the sediments derived from them. It is named after the word Titanos, which is Greek for Titans.

Zirconium

See more Zirconium products. Zirconium (atomic symbol: Zr, atomic number: 40) is a Block D, Group 4, Period 5 element with an atomic weight of 91.224. Zirconium Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of Zirconium's shells is 2, 8, 18, 10, 2 and its electron configuration is [Kr]4d2 5s2. The zirconium atom has a radius of 160 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 186 pm. Zirconium was discovered by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1789 and first isolated by Jöns Jakob Berzelius in 1824. In its elemental form, zirconium has a silvery white appearance that is similar to titanium. Zirconium's principal mineral is zircon (zirconium silicate). Elemental ZirconiumZirconium is commercially produced as a byproduct of titanium and tin mining and has many applications as a opacifier and a refractory material. It is not found in nature as a free element. The name of zirconium comes from the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium, and from the Persian wordzargun, meaning gold-like.
