Molecular titanium–hydroxamate complexes as models for TiO2 surface binding

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.
