Polyoxotitanates and their role in titania sol-gel polymerization

Hydrolysis of Ti(OBu$\sp{\rm t})\sb4$ with 1 equiv of water in t-BuOH at 100$\sp\circ$C yielded a new polyoxotitanate complex $\rm\lbrack Ti\sb{18}O\sb{28}H\rbrack (OBu\sp{t})\sb{17}$. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of its t-BuOH solvate revealed a $\rm Ti\sb{18}O\sb{45}$ metal-oxygen framework having a pentacapped Keggin structure Reaction of the complex with t-amyl alcohol led to the product $\rm\lbrack Ti\sb{18}O\sb{28}H\rbrack (OBu\sp{t})\sb{12}(OAm\sp{t})\sb5$, identified using NMR spectroscopy.
