Molecular titanium–hydroxamate complexes as models for TiO 2 surface binding

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Hydroxamate binding modes and protonation states have yet to be conclusively determined. Molecular titanium(iv) phenylhydroxamate complexes were synthesized as structural and spectroscopic models, and compared to functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles. In a combined experimental-theoretical study, we find that the predominant binding form is monodeprotonated, with evidence for the chelate mode.
