Analytical control of silica glass production. Voltammetric determination of titanium and iron in raw materials and silica glass samples.

Adsorptive stripping voltammetric (AdSV) methods are presented for the determination of titanium and iron in quartz and silica glass samples obtained after pressure decomposition. Mandelic acid and catechol were used as complexing agents for titanium and iron, respectively. The method for titanium determination is based on the catalytic effect of chlorate ions. An insoluble residue remaining after decomposition of quartz and silica glass samples in HF+H2SO4 mixture was checked by energy-dispersive X-ray analyses. ET-AAS was applied as a reference method to AdSV measurements.

Skeletal Class III oligodontia patient treated with titanium screw anchorage and orthognathic surgery.

This article reports the successful treatment of a patient, aged 15 years 8 months, with a Class III malocclusion and oligodontia; a titanium screw was used for absolute anchorage during treatment. The patient had a concave profile because of mandibular excess and asymmetric spaces in both arches. Titanium screws were implanted in the retromolar area during intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy combined with LeFort I osteotomy. Absolute anchorage was provided with anchorage wires extending from the screws to the left canine and the right lateral incisor. After orthodontic space closure, the mandibular molars were moved mesially without lingual tipping of the mandibular incisors. A good interincisal relationship was achieved. Our results suggest that titanium screws and anchorage wires in the retromolar area are useful for the mesial movement of mandibular molars.

Antitumour activity of [1,2-di(cyclopentadienyl)-1,2-di(p-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)-ethanediyl] titanium dichloride in xenografted Ehrlich's ascites tumour.

The effects of a new titanocene compound with an ansa ligand in the cyclopentadienyl rings, the 1,2-di(cyclopentadienyl)-1,2-di(p-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)-ethanediyl] titanium dichloride (TITANOCENE X), on the growth and differentiation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells [colony-forming unit-granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM)] and Natural killer (NK) cell activity in Ehrlich's ascites tumour (EAT)-bearing mice were studied. Myelosuppression concomitant with increased numbers of spleen CFU-GM was observed in tumour-bearing mice. Treatment of these animals with TITANOCENE X (2.5-50 mg/kg/day) produced an increase in myelopoiesis, in a dose-dependent manner, and reduced spleen colony formation. In addition, the treatment of EAT-bearing mice with 3 doses of 20 or 50 mg/kg TITANOCENE X restored to normal values the reduced Natural killer cell function observed during tumour growth. In parallel, TITANOCENE X prolonged, in a dose-dependent manner, the survival of mice inoculated with Ehrlich's ascites tumour. The highest dose of 50 mg/kg prolonged in 50% the survival time of EAT-bearing mice, compared to non-treated tumour-bearing controls. In comparison with previous results from our laboratory addressing the effects of titanocenes on haematopoiesis, we observed with TITANOCENE X a similar effective profile as for bis(cyclopentadienyl) dithiocyanate titanium(IV), being both less effective than di(cyclopentadienyl) dichloro titanium(IV), since the latter not only prolonged, but also increased the rate of survival. These differences in efficacy may be due to the nature of the ansa-cyclopentadienyl ligand used in TITANOCENE X, since the C2 bridge between the two cyclopentadienyl groups will increase the hydrolytic stability by an organometallic chelate effect. Also, the introduction of two dimethylamino substituents increases the water solubility of TITANOCENE X when compared to titanocene dichloride itself.

Hydrothermal synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic performance of silica-modified titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

Silica-modified titanium dioxides were prepared by a hydrothermal method and then characterized by XRD, FT-IR, XPS, TEM, and UV-visible spectroscopy. The silica-modified titanium dioxides were in anatase phase and had large surface areas. There was strong interaction between SiO2 and TiO2, and TiOSi bonds formed during the hydrothermal process. The addition of silica in TiO2 particles could effectively suppress the formation of the rutile phase and the growth of titanium dioxide crystals. DRS spectra proved an increase in the band-gap transition with the increase of silica. The silica-modified TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited better photocatalytic activity, which increased with the silica amount, in comparison with pure TiO2 nanoparticles. Due to better thermal stability, the photocatalytic activity of the silica-modified TiO2 sample held good photocatalytic activity even after calcined at 1273 K.

Biocompatibility and osteogenesis of refractory metal implants, titanium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum and rhenium.

To evaluate the biocompatibility of refractory metals, titanium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum and rhenium were implanted in rats, and histological observation and elemental mapping were performed by X-ray scanning analytical microscope (XSAM) and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA). The titanium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum and rhenium wires were implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of the abdominal region and in femoral bone marrow of rats for either 2 or 4 weeks. No inflammatory response was observed around the implants, and all the implants were encapsulated with thin fibrous connective tissue. No dissolution of these metals was detected by XSAM in the soft tissue. Histological examination of the hard tissue showed that the amount of new bone formation decreased slightly from the second to the fourth week after implantation, and that the percentage of bone in contact with the implant increased markedly over the same period. No dissolution of these metals was detected by EPMA in the hard tissue. The Ca and P intensities in the mapping images of newly formed bone were higher after 4 weeks than those after 2 weeks, which suggests that the newly formed bone continued to mature from 2 to 4 weeks after implantation. These results indicate that titanium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum and rhenium have good biocompatibility and osteoconductivity.

Reductive dechlorination of alpha-, beta-, delta-, and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane isomers by hydroxocobalamin in the presence of either dithiothreitol or titanium(III) citrate as reducing agents.

The effect of the reducing potential on the reductive dehalogenation of the different HCH (hexachlorocyclohexane) isomers has not yet been studied. In the present study, the potential for dehalogenation of (alpha-, beta-, delta-, and gamma-HCH isomers by the dithiothreitol (DTT) and titanium(III) citrate (reducing potential at pH 7, -0.33 and -0.48 V, respectively), with and without the addition of hydroxocobalamin was investigated. In the presence of DTT without catalyst, there was no disappearance of any of the HCH isomers studied after 1 h of treatment. However, disappearance of the gamma- and alpha-HCH isomers was observed during the same time period when titanium(III) citrate was used as the reductant in the absence of catalyst (62.9 and 16.6% disappearance, respectively). Addition of the hydroxocobalamin to the DTT system favored mainly the disappearance of gamma- and alpha-HCH (92.9 and 30.8% disappearance after 1 h, respectively); disappearance of delta-HCH and beta-HCH was small (11.9%) or negligible, respectively. Addition of the hydroxocobalamin to the titanium(III) citrate system favored the degradation of all HCH isomers under study: beta- and alpha-HCH completely disappeared to undetectable levels (<0.1%) after 1 and 2 min, respectively; degradation of delta-HCH and beta-HCH was slower than that of the other two isomers, although they had almost completely disappeared (99.9 and 99.6% disappearance, respectively) after 10 and 60 min, respectively. The order of disappearance, gamma-HCH > alpha-HCH > delta-HCH > beta-HCH, coincided with a decreasing order of the axially positioned Cl atoms of these isomers (considering their thermodynamically most stable configuration). This study is the first description of the rapid degradation of delta- and beta-HCH under abiotic conditions, and the results demonstrate the effect of the reducing potential on the reductive dehalogenation of HCH isomers.

Titanium alkoxides as initiators for the controlled polymerization of lactide.

Fourteen titanium alkoxides were synthesized for comparison of their catalytic properties in the bulk and solution polymerization of lactide (LA). In bulk polymerizations, they are effective catalysts in terms of polymer yield and molecular weight. Titanatranes gave polylactides with significantly increased molecular weight over more extended polymerization times, and those with five-membered rings afforded polymers in higher yields and with larger molecular weights than their six-membered ring counterparts. Steric hindrance of the rings was found to significantly affect polymer yields. Increased heterotactic-biased poly(rac-LA) was formed as the number of chlorine atoms increased in TiCl(x)(O-i-Pr)(4)(-)(x). In solution polymerizations, titanium alkoxides catalyzed controlled polymerizations of LA, and end group analysis demonstrated that an alkoxide substituent on the titanium atom acted as the initiator. That polymerization is controlled under our conditions was shown by the linearity of molecular weight versus conversion. A tendency toward formation of heterotactic-biased poly(rac-LA) was observed in the solution polymerizations. The rate of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and the molecular weight of the polymers are greatly influenced by the substituents on the catalyst, as well as by factors such as the polymerization temperature, polymerization time, and concentration of monomer and catalyst.

Terminal titanium-ligand multiple bonds. Cleavages of C=O and C=S double bonds with Ti imido complexes.

Treatment of (t-)BuN=TiCl(2)Py(3) with 2 equiv lithium ketiminate compound, Li[OCMeCHCMeN(Ar)] (where Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), in toluene at room temperature gave (t-)BuN=Ti[OCMeCHCMeN(Ar)](2) (1) in high yield. The reaction of 1 with phenyl isocyanate at room-temperature resulted in imido ligand exchange producing PhN=Ti[OCMeCHCMeN(Ar)](2) (2). Compound 1 decomposed at 90 degrees C to form a terminal titanium oxo compound O=Ti[OCMeCHCMeN(Ar)](2) (3) and (t-)BuNHCMeCHCMeNAr (4). Also, the compound 3 could be obtained by reacting 1 with CO(2) under mild condition. Similarly, while 1 reacts with an excess of carbon disulfide, a novel terminal titanium sulfido compound S=Ti[OCMeCHCMeN(Ar)](2) (5) was formed via a C=S bond breaking reaction. A novel titanium isocyanate compound Ti[OCMeCHCMeN(Ar)](2)(NCO)(OEt) (6) was formed on heating 1 with 1 equiv of urethane, H(2)NCOOEt. Compounds 1-6 have been characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopies. The molecular structures of 1, 3, 5, and 6 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A theoretical calculation predicted that the cleavage of the C-S double bonds for carbon disulfide with the Ti=N bond of compound 1 was estimated at ca. 21.8 kcal.mol(-1) exothermic.

Synthesis and X-ray structures of new titanium(IV) aryloxides and their exploitation for the ring opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone.

A series of titanium catecholates have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Complexes 1a-7a were synthesized by the reaction of 1 equiv of ligand with Ti(OiPr)4. All are dimers in the solid-state, in which a catechol bridges between two titanium centers. Electronic (nitro and methoxy groups) and steric (tert-butyl groups) effects of the ligand have been investigated. Complex 1b was synthesized by reaction of 2 equiv of ligand with Ti(OiPr)4. A dimer is again observed with the same bridging ligand together with a terminal catechol moiety. All complexes contain a coordinated 2-propanol ligand on each titanium center forming pseudo-octahedral metal centers. All complexes were tested for the ring-opening-polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone to afford polycaprolactone (PCL). Reasonable yields (up to 79%) were obtained at room temperature, and narrow molecular weight distributions (1.13-1.27) were observed for the PCL produced. The most active complex was found to be complex 1a, containing unsubsituted catechol ligands.

Preparation, Molecular and Electronic Structures, and Magnetic Properties of Face-Sharing Bioctahedral Titanium(III) Compounds: [PPh(4)][Ti(2)(&mgr;-Cl)(3)Cl(4)(PR(3))(2)].

Reduction of TiCl(4) with 1 equiv of HSnBu(3) followed by addition of [PPh(4)]Cl and then PR(3) leads to two new dinuclear titanium(III) compounds, [PPh(4)][Ti(2)(&mgr;-Cl)(3)Cl(4)(PR(3))(2)] (R = Et and R(3) = Me(2)Ph), both of which contain an anion with the face-sharing bioctahedral type structure. Their crystal structures are reported. [PPh(4)][Ti(2)(&mgr;-Cl)(3)Cl(4)(PEt(3))(2)].2CH(2)Cl(2) crystallized in the triclinic space group P&onemacr;. Cell dimensions: a = 12.461(1) Å, b = 20.301(8) Å, c = 11.507(5) Å, alpha = 91.44 degrees, beta = 113.27(1) degrees, gamma = 104.27(2) degrees, and Z = 2. The distance between titanium atoms is 3.031(2) Å. [PPh(4)][Ti(2)(&mgr;-Cl)(3)Cl(4)(PMe(2)Ph)(2)].CH(2)Cl(2) also crystallized in the triclinic space group P&onemacr; with cell dimensitions a = 11.635(4) Å, b = 19.544(3) Å, c = 11.480(3) Å, alpha = 100.69(2) degrees, beta = 109.70(1) degrees, gamma = 95.08(2) degrees, and Z = 2. The distance between titanium atoms in this compound is 2.942(1) Å. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibilities were measured for [PPh(4)][Ti(2)(&mgr;-Cl)(3)Cl(4)(PEt(3))(2)]. Electronic structure calculations were carried out for a model ion, [Ti(2)(&mgr;-Cl)(3)Cl(4)(PH(3))(2)](-), and another well-known anion, [Ti(2)(&mgr;-Cl)(3)Cl(6)](3)(-), by employing an ab initio configuration interaction method. The results of the calculations reveal that the metal-metal interaction in these Ti(III) face-sharing compounds can be best described by strong antiferromagnetic coulping that leads to a singlet ground state and a thermally accessible triplet first excited state. Accordingly the measured magnetic data were satisfactorily fitted to a spin-only formula.

Self-assembly of a tripodal pseudorotaxane on the surface of a titanium dioxide nanoparticle.

This paper describes the self-assembly of a heterosupramolecular system consisting of a tripodal viologen, adsorbed at the surface of a titanium dioxide nanoparticle, that threads a crown ether to form a pseudorotaxane. The viologen, a 1,1'-disubstituted-4,4'-bipyridinium salt with a rigid tripodal anchor group, has been synthesized. This viologen is adsorbed at the surface of a titanium dioxide nanoparticle in solution. As intended, this tripodal viologen is both oriented normal to and displaced from the surface of the nanoparticle and threads a crown ether to form the heterosupramolecular complex. The threading of the crown ether by the tripodal viologen to form the above pseudorotaxane complex at the surface of a titanium dioxide nanoparticle has been studied by (1)H NMR, optical absorption spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry.

Titanium alkoxide complex of functionalized conjugated dienes. A versatile bis-anionic template for stereoselective construction of carbon frameworks.

1,3-Butadiene-2-carboxylates were treated with a titanium(II) alkoxide reagent, Ti(O-i-Pr)4/2i-PrMgCl, to generate diene-titanium alkoxide complexes, the presence of which was verified by hydrolysis and deuteriolysis to give the corresponding monoolefins or their bis-deuterated counterpart. These diene complexes underwent successive addition to an aldehyde (as the first electrophile) and iodine (as the second one) in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner to give the corresponding iodo alcohol. Optically active 1,3-butadiene-2-carboxylates afforded the same adducts of high asymmetric induction. Besides these electron-deficient dienes, electron-rich 2-siloxy-1,3-butadienes also participated in the formation of the titanium complex, which led to the preparation of functionalized enol silyl ethers through regio- and stereoselective coupling with carbonyl compounds and hydrolytic workup.

Titanium hydrazido and imido complexes: synthesis, structure, reactivity, and relevance to alkyne hydroamination.

Treatment of Ti(NMe(2))(2)(dpma) (1) with aniline results in the protonation of the dimethylamido ligands, which are retained as dimethylamines, and generation of a titanium imido complex Ti(NPh)(NHMe(2))(2)(dpma) (2) in 94% yield. The monomeric imido 2 is converted to the reactive dimeric micro-imido [Ti(NPh)(dpma)](2) (3) on removal of the labile dimethylamine donors. The dimer 3 is converted to monomeric terminal imido complexes in the presence of added donors, e.g., 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Bu(t)-bpy) and DME. Compounds 1-3 exhibit the same rate constant for 1-phenylpropyne hydroamination by aniline and are all kinetically competent to be involved in the catalytic cycle. Attempts to use 1 as a catalyst for hydroaminations involving 1,1-dimethylhydrazine resulted in only a few turnovers under the best conditions. Consequently, the chemistry of 1 with hydrazines to generate hydrazido complexes was scrutinized for comparison with the imido species. Through these studies, titanium hydrazido complexes including Ti(eta(2)-NHNC(5)H(10))(2)(dpma) (5), Ti(eta(2)-NHNMe(2))(2)(dpma) (6), and [Ti(micro:eta(1),eta(2)-NNMe(2))(dpma)](2) (7) were characterized. In addition, a terminal hydrazido(2-) complex was available by addition of Bu(t)-bpy to 1 prior to 1,1-dimethylhydrazine addition, which provided Ti(eta(1)-NNMe(2))(Bu(t)-bpy)(dpma) (8). Compound 8 was structurally characterized and compared to Ti(NPh)(Bu(t)-bpy)(dpma) (4b), an imido derivative with the same ancillary ligand set. Compound 8 has a nucleophilic beta-nitrogen consistent with a hydrazido(2-) formulation, as determined by reaction with MeI to form the ammonium imido complex [Ti(NNMe(3))(Bu(t)-bpy)(dpma)]I (9). Analogous pyridinium imido complexes [Ti(N-1-pyridinium)(Bu(t)-bpy)(dpma)](+) (10) are available by addition of 1-aminopyridinium iodide to 1. From the investigations, some conclusions regarding the activity of titanium pyrrolyl complexes in hydroamination were drawn. The lack of conversion of the bis[micro-hydrazido(2-)] 7 to monomeric species in the presence of donor ligands is put forth as one explanation for the poor hydrazine hydroamination activity of 1. This problem was combated in the synthesis of Ti(NMe(2))(2)(dap)(2), which is an active catalyst for hydrazine hydroamination of alkynes.

Chiroptical switching polyguanidine synthesized by helix-sense-selective polymerization using [(R)-3,3'-dibromo-2,2'-binaphthoxy](di-tert-butoxy)titanium(IV) catalyst.

A series of chiral binaphthyl titanium alkoxide complexes were synthesized. Among them, chiral titanium complex [(R)-3,3'-dibromo-2,2'-binaphthoxy](di-tert-butoxy)titanium(IV) (R-3) exists as a crystallographic C2 dimer in the solid state but a monomer in solution at room temperature. Application of R-3 in the helix-sense-selective polymerization of achiral carbodiimide, N-(1-anthryl)-N'-octadecylcarbodiimide (1), yielded a well-defined regioregular, stereoregular poly[N-(1-anthryl)-N'-octadecylguanidine] (poly-1b) with a relatively narrow polymer dispersity index of 2.7. Full racemization of poly-1b at +80 degrees C in toluene requires more than 100 h. Interestingly, poly-1b was found to undergo fast reversible chiroptical switching at +38.5 degrees C in toluene. Furthermore, at room temperature, poly-1b shows a positively signed Cotton effect in toluene, but negative ones in THF and chloroform, respectively. The chiroptical switching takes place around the toluene content of 90% (vol) in the mixed toluene/THF solvents. This is the first example of chiroptical switching phenomenon occurring in a helical polymer possessing no chiral moieties in the polymer chains. We believe this reversible chiroptical switching phenomenon occurs by reorientation of anthracene rings relative to the chain director.

Dinitrogen activation by titanium sandwich complexes.

The activation of dinitrogen by titanium sandwich complexes of the general form (eta5-C5Me4R)2Ti (R = CHMe2, CMe3, SiMe3) has been systematically investigated. Low-temperature, in situ, solution infrared spectroscopy has allowed detection of monomeric bis-dinitrogen complexes of titanium that are isostructural with more familiar dicarbonyl derivatives. One example, (eta5-C5Me4CHMe2)2Ti(N2)2, has also been characterized by X-ray diffraction and reveals weakly activated dinitrogen ligands. From the solution IR data, the relative azophilicity of the titanium sandwich complexes has been established and increases with smaller cyclopentadienyl substituents.

Methane activation by titanium monoxide molecules: a matrix isolation infrared spectroscopic and theoretical study.

Reactions of titanium monoxides with methane have been investigated using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. Titanium derivatives of several simple oxyhydrocarbons have been prepared and identified. The titanium monoxide molecules prepared by laser evaporation of bulk TiO2 target reacted with methane to form the TiO(CH4) complex in solid argon, which was predicted to have C3v symmetry with the oxygen atom coordinated to one hydrogen atom of the methane molecule. The complex rearranged to the CH3Ti(O)H titano-acetaldehyde molecule upon visible (lambda > 500 nm) irradiation. The titano-acetaldehyde molecule sustained further photochemical rearrangement to the CH2Ti(H)OH titano-vinyl alcohol molecule, which was characterized to be a simple carbene complex involving agostic bonding. The CH2Ti(H)OH molecule reacted with a second methane to form the (CH3)2Ti(H)OH titano-isopropyl alcohol molecule spontaneously on annealing. The (CH3)2Ti(H)OH molecule also can be produced via UV photon-induced rearrangement of the CH3Ti(O)H(CH4) complex.

Generation of a silylethylene-titanium alkoxide complex. A versatile reagent for silylethylation and silylethylidenation of unsaturated compounds

(Trimethylsilyl)ethylene-titanium alkoxide complex (1) was generated from trimethyl(vinyl)silane, Ti(O-i-Pr)(4), and i-PrMgCl as a preformed alkene-titanium complex and reacted with several unsaturated compounds such as aldehyde, imine, other vinylsilane, and acetylene to give the corresponding coupling products 4a-f, 6, 8, and 10a-d in a regioselective manner. Both of the two carbon-titanium bonds of the complex 1 reacted successively with esters to afford silylcyclopropanols 11a-j, 13, and 15, some synthetic applications of which were illustrated in the preparation of beta-silyl ketones 16 and cyclopropenes 17. Asymmetric addition of 1 to a chiral acyloxazolidinone 19 gave optically active cyclopropanol (+)-11a of 50% ee.

Lewis Acid-Promoted, Stereocontrolled, Gram Scale, Diels-Alder Cycloadditions of Electronically Matched 2-Pyrones and Vinyl Ethers: The Critical Importance of Molecular Sieves and the Temperature of Titanium Coordination with the Pyrone.

(R)-(+)-Binol-titanium coordinates with commercial methyl 2-pyrone-3-carboxylate and promotes mild, highly enantiocontrolled Diels-Alder cycloadditions with electron-rich vinyl ether CH(2)=CHOCH(2)-1-naphthyl and vinyl silyl ether CH(2)=CHOSiMe(2)Bu-t leading to valuable 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (calcitriol) intermediate (-)-2. Unexpectedly, two subtle variables were found to be critical for obtaining reproducibly over 90% enantioselectivities in gram scale cycloadditions: (1) the moisture content (15-17% is best) of the molecular sieves used to prepare the binol-titanium complex according to the Mikami protocol and (2) the temperature (50 degrees C is best) at which the pyrone ester is mixed with the binol-titanium complex.
