Tris(acetylacetonato)titanium(III), often abbreviated Ti(acac)3, is a coordination complex of titanium(III) featuring acetylacetonate (acac) ligands, making it one of a family of metal acetylacetonates. It is a blue air-sensitive solid that dissolves in nonpolar organic solvents. The compound is prepared by treating titanium trichloride with acetylacetone in the presence of base. [1] Being paramagnetic, it gives a contact-shifted proton NMR signal at 60 ppm upfield of TMS assigned to the methyl group. [2]

Structure

It is an octahedral complex. The Ti-O bonds lengths range from 2.023 to 2.013 Å, the large variation being attributed to the Jahn-Teller effect. Ti(acac)3 possesses helical chirality, giving rise to Δ- and Λ-enantiomers.

It is a precatalyst for Ziegler-Natta catalysis. [3]
