DONOR ACCEPTOR REACTIONS OF TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE WITH FORMAMIDE AND N,N-DIMETHYL FORMAMIDE

Abstract

Co-ordination complexes of titanium tetrachloride with formamide and N,N-dimethyl formamide have been prepared. All the complexes found are explained through a co-ordination number of 6 for titanium (IV).The infrared spectra of these compounds were measured; a negative shift observed for the carbonyl frequency and a positive shift observed for what is thought to be the C—N frequency are explained by a co-ordination through the oxygen of these molecules. Structural formulas are proposed for the compounds obtained.
