Abstract
The preparation, spectroscopic characterisation and molecular structures of
the four-coordinate, tetrahedral and monomeric compounds Ti(OSiPh3)(4) and
Ti(OGePh3)(4) are presented and discussed. The catalytic inactivity of bot
h of these compounds may be rationalised on the basis of the steric inacces
sibility of the substrates to the Ti(IV) active sites, which are effectivel
y shrouded by the bulky triphenyl groups. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. Al
