Abstract
X-ray structural analysis of “crystalline alkoxides” in many cases reveals that along with OR-groups their molecules also contain oxo-ligands. The following possible reactions leading to formation of oxoalkoxides have been discussed: hydrolysis, pyrolysis (frequently uncontrollable), ether elimination, oxidation of OR-groups (which exist in solutions of alkali, alkaline-earth and rare earth elements), or alkoxides of the lower oxidation states (which are formed by reduction of M(OR) n on cathode during electrolysis or by hydrogen in statu nascendi). Oligomeric oxoalkoxides differ from the polymeric alkoxides M(OR) n in considerably higher solubility and reactivity. The most important role of oxoalkoxides in the processes of formation of oxides has been demonstrated using as an example preparation of BaTiO3 from alkoxides.
