Hexafluorotitanate salts containing organic cations: use as a reaction medium and precursor to the synthesis of titanium dioxide

Abstract

The straightforward modification of commercial hexafluorotitanic acid with organic derivatives containing a tetraalkylammonium cation produced stable precursor solutions with only a small fraction of water, which were then used as a reaction medium for the synthesis of nanocrystalline TiO(2).
