Titanium(IV) isopropoxide

Atomic number of base material: 22 Titanium

Titanium(IV) isopropoxide, also known as tetraisopropyl orthotitanate (TTIP), is a titanium coordination compound. It appears as a colorless to faint yellow liquid. This compound is highly reactive with moisture, undergoing hydrolysis to form titanium dioxide and isopropanol. We also provide the same materials in larger SKUs, packaged in poly bottle 377996.

Novel metal oxide/phosphonate hybrids were formed from titanium(IV) isopropoxide in a two-step sol-gel process. Starting material for barium-strontium-titanate thin films. Used to make porous titanosilicates, potential ion-exchange materials for cleanup of radioactive wastes. Applied in the formation of a heterosupermolecule consisting of a TiO₂ nanocrystallite-viologen electron acceptor complex whose light-induced electron transfer has been demonstrated.

Titanium(IV) isopropoxide is a key precursor

• In Radio Frequency Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (RF PECVD) for producing Titanium Oxide-incorporated Diamond-Like Carbon (TiO_x-DLC) coatings with tunable mechanical and optical properties.
• In the sol-gel synthesis of mesoporous hybrid photocatalysts, enabling reduction of hexavalent chromium in aqueous solutions.
• In the hydrothermal synthesis of rutile-phase TiO_₂ nanostructures on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates, facilitating the development of dye-sensitized solar cells.
• As a key precursor in the sol-gel synthesis of cellulose/PVA/TiO_₂ nanocomposite films, enhancing their photocatalytic efficiency .
