titanium-silasequioxane coordination compound as a heterogeneous, thermally stable catalyst: synthesis and characterization

As a high thermally stable catalyst intended for biomass conversion, titanium (iv) silsesquioxane complex (ti(opri){(c-c6h11)7si7o12}) was prepared using titanium isopropoxide and trisilanol isobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane as starting materials. coordination coumpounds were characterized using fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), 1h nuclear magnetic resonance (1h-nmr), and gel permeation chromatography (gpc) analyses. analytical findings were infered compared to the starting ligand used.
