Hydrogen chloride is formed as a coproduct:[4]: 19–20 Titanium isopropoxide reacts with water to deposit titanium dioxide:[5] This reaction is employed in the sol-gel synthesis of TiO2-based materials in the form of powders or thin films.
The composition, crystallinity and morphology of the inorganic product are determined by the presence of additives (e.g. acetic acid), the amount of water (hydrolysis ratio), and reaction conditions.
Prochiral thioethers are oxidized enantioselectively using a catalyst derived from Ti(O-i-Pr)4.
[6][7] Titanium(IV) isopropoxide is a widely used item of commerce and has acquired many names in addition to those listed in the table.
TTIP can be used as a precursor for ambient conditions vapour phase deposition such as infiltration into polymer thin films.
