A heterobimetallic single molecular precursor, [Fe2Ti4(μ-O)6(TFA)8(THF)6] (1) [TFA=trifluoroacetate, THF=tetrahydrofuran], was synthesized by the simple reaction of [Fe3O(OAc)6(H2O)3]NO3·4H2O [OAc=acetato] with tetrakis(2-ethoxyethanalato)titanium(IV) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid in THF. The synthesized precursor was analyzed by melting point, CHN analysis, FTIR, single crystal X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. Complex (1) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca21 with cell dimensions a=19.2114(14), b=20.4804(15) and c=17.2504(12)Å, and the complex undergoes thermal decomposition at 490°C to give a residual mass corresponding to an Fe2TiO5–TiO2 composite mixture. The synthesized precursor was utilized for deposition of Fe2TiO5–TiO2 composite thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) on glass substrates at 500°C using argon as the carrier gas. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analyses of the thin films suggest the formation of good quality crystalline thin films of an Fe2TiO5–TiO2 composite with an average grain size of 0.105–0.120μm.
