Titanium chemical state, characterizations

Quantitative analysis of the plasma-nitrided titanium showed that the TiN layers so produced were characterized by a higher oxygen content (43, 45]. If the chemical states of Ti in these layers are to be determined by analysis of the chemical shifts of the Ti 2pi[i components, then the data compiled in Table 3.3 will be needed. From the cited data it is obvious that TiO cannot be separated from TiN, and that there is overlap between the TiN,Oi, TiN,Oy and TiN +, states and the L-1 type, between Ti203 and the L-2 type, and between Ti02 and the L-3 type, loss peaks (Table 3.1). An attempt to estimate the relative amounts... 

SiO)3Ti-H and (=SiO)3Ti species react very easily with alcohols to give titanium tris-siloxy mono-alkoxy. Step by step, following the methods described in Scheme 2.10, it is thus possible to obtain well-defined mono-, bi- or tripodal complexes that have been characterized by chemical analysis and by chemical and spectroscopic methods such as IR and solid-state NMR ( H and C). 

TSCA does not authorize the EPA to distinguish between chemical substances based on the their particle size, and the EPA states clearly in the Inventory Status of Nanoscale Substances that particle size alone is not a basis for characterizing a substance as a new chemical if either the bulk form or nanoscale form of the chemical is on the Inventory. Therefore, the bulk form of titanium dioxide is on the Inventory and so nanoparticles of titanium dioxide are considered to be on the Inventory. When a nanoscale form of a substance is put on the Inventory, the bulk form is also considered to be on the Inventory. 

Hagaman et al. (2012) studied interaction of benzoic acid with metal oxides using solid-state O NMR spectroscopy. Complexes formed by dry benzoic acid with mesoporous silica and nonporous titania and alumina were analyzed. Chemical reactions with silica were not observed, but the behavior of benzoic acid on silica was a function of the water content. The acid was characterized by high mobility as evidenced by a liquid-like, Lorentzian NMR resonance. Excess benzoic acid remained as the crystalline hydrogen-bonded dimer. Benzoic acid reacted with titania and alumina surfaces in equilibrium with air to form the corresponding titanium and aluminum benzoates. In both materials, the oxygen of the O-labeled acid was bound to the metal, showing the bond...
