Titanate chelate

Chelated titanates are made simply by mixing the chelating agent with TYZOR TPT or another alkoxide. The Hberated alcohol is usually left in the product to maintain the products fluidity. It may, however, be removed by distillation if desirable. Organic titanates are normally shipped in 208-L dmms, totes, cylinders, or tank tmcks. Most titanates are moisture-sensitive and must be handled with care, preferably under dry nitrogen. 

Recommended for use as coupling agents are monoalkoxytriacyl titanates, such as isopropoxytriisostearyl titanate, Ken-React KR TTS or TYZOR ISTT [61417-49-0] which are useflil in mineral-filled polyolefin resins (526) chelated titanates, such as di(dioctyl)pyrophosphatooxoethylene titanate,...

Dialkylaminoethyl acryhc esters are readily prepared by transesterification of the corresponding dialkylaminoethanol (102,103). Catalysts include strong acids and tetraalkyl titanates for higher alkyl esters and titanates, sodium phenoxides, magnesium alkoxides, and dialkyitin oxides, as well as titanium and zirconium chelates, for the preparation of functional esters. Because of loss of catalyst activity during the reaction, incremental or continuous additions may be required to maintain an adequate reaction rate. 

The products offered commercially in the United States include a variety of tetraalMy titanates, chelates thereof, and simple and complex acylates. Prices of some of these are Hsted in Table 2. 

Titanium chelates are formed from tetraalkyl titanates or haUdes and bi- or polydentate ligands. One of the functional groups is usually alcohoHc or enoHc hydroxyl, which interchanges with an alkoxy group, RO, on titanium to Hberate ROH. If the second function is hydroxyl or carboxyl, it may react similarly. Diols and polyols, a-hydroxycarboxyflc acids and oxaUc acid are all examples of this type. P-Keto esters, P-diketones, and alkanolamines are also excellent chelating ligands for titanium. 

The orange-red titanium acetylacetone chelates are soluble in common solvents. These compounds are coordinately saturated (coordination number equals 6) and thus much more resistant to hydrolysis than the parent alkoxides (coordination number 4). The alkoxy groups are the moieties removed by hydrolysis. The initial product of hydrolysis is beheved to be the bis-hydroxy bis-acetylacetone titanate, (HO)2Ti(acac)2, which oligomerizes to a... 

P-Ketoester Chelates. p-Ketoesters react in a fashion similar to the p-diketones. TYZOR DC [27858-32-8] is the hght-yeUow Hquid from TYZOR TPT and two moles of ethyl acetoacetate (eaa) after removal of the isopropyl alcohol. TYZOR BEAT, the bis-ethylacetoacetate [20753-28-0] derived from the tetra- -butyl titanate, and TYZOR IBAY [83877-91-2] the isobutoxy analogue, perform similarly to TYZOR DC. Both, however, have better cold-storage stabiHty. 

Addition of one mole of P,P -dipheny1methy1enediphosphinic acid to tetraisopropyl titanate gives a chelated product, the solutions of which can be used as a primer coat for metals to enhance the adhesion of topcoats, eg, alkyds, polyalkyl acylates, and other polymeric surface coating products, and improve the corrosion resistance of the metal to salt water (102). 

Alkanolamine Chelates. Alkanolamine chelates, which are prepared by reaction of tetraalkyl titanates with one or more alkanolamines, are used primarily in cross-linking water-soluble polymers (qv) (see Alkanolamines) (104). The products are used in thixotropic paint emulsion paints, in hydrauhc fracturing and drilling of oil and gas wells, and in many other fields. The stmcture of... 

For ink vehicles based on hydroxyl group containing binders such as nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate, the tetraalkyl titanates cross-link the binder prematurely, limiting the storage stabiUty of the printing ink. Chelated organic titanates such as TYZOR AA and TYZOR TE are preferred for use in these cases because they only initiate cross-linking when the ink is heated to temperatures above 80°C (503). 

The chelated organic titanates also function as adhesion promoters of the ink binder to printed substrates such as plastic films, paper, and aluminum foil (504). The acetylacetone complexes of titanium are the preferred products for promoting adhesion of printing inks to polypropylene films. 

Tetraalkyl titanates react with organic borates, B(OR )2, to give complexes of the general formula Ti(OR)4 B(OR )2, which are useful as catalysts and cross-linking agents (562). Mixtures of chelated organic titanates such as TYZOR TE and TYZOR LA with alkaU metal borates, such as borax, or boric acid can be used to produce shear-stable fracturing fluids (563). 

The type of catalyst influences the rate and reaction mechanism. Reactions catalyzed with both monovalent and divalent metal hydroxides, KOH, NaOH, LiOH and Ba(OH)2, Ca(OH)2, and Mg(OH)2, showed that both valence and ionic radius of hydrated cations affect the formation rate and final concentrations of various reaction intermediates and products.61 For the same valence, a linear relationship was observed between the formaldehyde disappearance rate and ionic radius of hydrated cations where larger cation radii gave rise to higher rate constants. In addition, irrespective of the ionic radii, divalent cations lead to faster formaldehyde disappearance rates titan monovalent cations. For the proposed mechanism where an intermediate chelate participates in the reaction (Fig. 7.30), an increase in positive charge density in smaller cations was suggested to improve the stability of the chelate complex and, therefore, decrease the rate of the reaction. The radii and valence also affect the formation and disappearance of various hydrox-ymethylated phenolic compounds which dictate the composition of final products.
