Abstract

Several new crystalline bimetallic alkoxide precursors for barium titanates processing have been prepared: {[Ba(Solv)2]2[Ti(OAr)6]2} (1) (Solv = coordinated solvent molecule, Ar = aryl group), [Ba(CH2OHCH2OH)4(H20)][Ti(OCH2CH2O)3] (2), Ba[Ti2(OR)9]2 (3) (R = methyl, ethyl, and n-propyl), and [Ba(BzOH)Ti2O(OBz)8]2 (4) (Bz = benzyl). These precursors have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Compound 1 is well-suited for sol-gel processing of BaTiO3 powders and thin films under a variety of conditions. The facile preparation of 2 using relatively inexpensive starting materials makes it a viable alternative for the synthesis of BaTiO3 fine powders. Both compounds 3 and 4 are fairly moisture-sensitive; hydrolysis of these precursors under acidic conditions affords the formation of gels instead of precipitates. The reactivity of 3 toward hydrolysis can be tailored by varying the alkyl group.
