New type of compounds based on s-and d-block metal trimethylacetates

Abstract

Heterometallic compounds based on alkali (Li, Na, K, Rb, or Cs) trimethylacetates and transition metal (Cu or Co) trimethylacetates were synthesized. These compounds are characterized by a larger number of s-block atoms compared to d-block atoms. An excess alkali metal trimethylacetate in the reaction system leads to the formation of unusual polymeric systems containing alternating s-and d-block atoms.
