Structural Studies on Group IV Metal Acetylacetonates

Abstract

TWO types of six-coordinate complexes of acetylacetone (Hacac) with Group IV elements have been reported previously. They are [M(acac)2Cl2] (M = titanium, germanium, or tin) and [M(acac)3]+ (M = titanium, germanium, or silicon)1. The present communication describes the syntheses of other halides of the type [M(acac)2X2], infra-red studies on all the above complexes, and single crystal X-ray investigations on the three complexes [M(acac)2Cl2] (M = titanium, germanium, or tin).
