dc.description.abstractThe modification of titanium alkoxides by chemical reactions with ligands yields complexes or molecular clusters that are substantially different from those of the parent alkoxides. In this study, we investigate the structural evolution of powders and thin films prepared from two titanium oxo-alkoxyacylate clusters with different oxo-core structures [Ti6(μ3-O)2(μ2-O)2](CH3COO)8(μ2-OiPr)2(OiPr)6 and [Ti6(μ3-O)6](μ-RCOO)6(OiPr)6 ([6,4] and [6,6], respectively) as a function of annealing temperature. The structural evolution of powders and thin films prepared from the corresponding parent alkoxide Ti(OiPr)4 (TiP) were also investigated for comparison. In all powders, the amorphous-to-anatase transformation occurred upon heating to 400°C. In sharp contrast, the anatase-to-rutile transformation of the powder prepared from the [6,6] cluster was significantly inhibited compared with the conventionally derived powder, with no rutile being detected even after annealing at 800°C for 1 h. This was attributed to the small crystallite size in the [6,6]-derived powder, which is lower than the critical size previously reported for the anatase-to-rutile transformation in similar sol–gel-derived materials. In thin films, the amorphous-to-anatase phase transition also occurred at temperatures as low as 400°C for coatings deposited from conventional TiP precursor and [6,4] cluster solutions. However, in contrast to the corresponding powders no rutile nucleation occurred even at 800°C in either film. © 2008, Wiley-Blackwell.en_AU
