Oxygen titanium

Photolytic. When 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (100 pM) in an oxygenated, titanium dioxide (2 g/L) suspension was irradiated by sunlight (X >340 nm), complete mineralization to carbon dioxide and water and chloride ions was observed (Barbeni et al., 1987a). 

Broad transitions at between 240 and 300 nm were observed for the ALD samples by UV-Vis DRS in hydrated conditions (Fig. 3 (c - f)), indicating the presence of isolated Ti04 units (-220 - 250 nm [5,17]) and of either hexacoordinated Ti with two or more ligands other than framework oxygen or partially condensed titanium-oxygen-titanium (-300 nm [17,18])... 

With oxygen titanium forms TiO, Ti2Oj, and Ti02 other oxides, TijO,. TijOii, Ti2Ot, and TiOj, are described, but their existence is doubtful.

Titanium shows an excellent corrosion resistance in acids, due to the formation of the protective Ti02 passive layers. The presence of oxygen or water is necessary, for the formation of Ti02 oxide layer, even small amounts of water and oxygen are sufficient. Ti02 is an w-type semiconductor, which can heal itself if it is damaged. In the absence of a source of oxygen, titanium will corrode because no oxide film will be established.

The oxide film of titanium is very stable, though relatively thin, and is attacked by only a few substances, most notable of which is hydrofluoric acid. Because of its strong affinity for oxygen, titanium is capable of healing ruptures in this film almost instantly in any envirorunent where a trace of moisture or oxygen is present. 

A comparison has been made of carbonyl frequencies of cyclohexanones and their complexes with boron trifluoride. Spectra of the complexed ketones show disappearance of the free carbonyl absorption and replacement by a band at ca. 70 cm lower wavenumbers. This change is associated with a diminution of the force constant of the carbonyl bond. A u.v. spectroscopic study has also been made of cyclohexanone boron trifluoride complexes in CHjClj. For cyclohexanone a hypsochromic shift of the n ti band is noted on complexa-tion, as indicated by values of 287.3 nm, s = 17 for the free ketone and A 240.5 nm, e = 116 for the ketone boron trifluoride complex. Titanium tetrachloride also acts as a Lewis acid and forms complexes with ketones. However, the 50cm shift in the carbonyl frequency observed on complexation is taken as indicating that the oxygen-titanium bond is weaker than the oxygens boron bond.
