Titanium nitrate is the inorganic compound with formula Ti(NO₃)₄. It is a colorless, diamagnetic solid that sublimes readily. It is an unusual example of a volatile binary transition metal nitrate. Ill defined species called titanium nitrate are produced upon dissolution of titanium or its oxides in nitric acid.

Preparation

Similarly to its original method,^[7]^[8] Ti(NO₃)₄ is prepared by the nitration of titanium tetrachloride using dinitrogen pentoxide^[9] or chlorine nitrate:^[10]

TiCl₄ + 4 N₂O₅ → Ti(NO₃)₄ + 4 ClNO₂

Hydrated titanium nitrate, the nitrate salt of the aquo complex [Ti(H₂O)₆]³⁺, is produced upon dissolution of titanium compounds in nitric acid.^[11]

Structure

The complex has D_2d symmetry, with four bidentate nitrate ligands. The N-O distances are 1·29 Å and 1·185 Å (noncoordinated).^[6]

Physical properties

In the infrared spectrum, it absorbs strongly at 1635 cm⁻¹, assigned to a N-O vibrational mode.^[12]

It is soluble in nonpolar solvents silicon tetrachloride and carbon tetrachloride.^[13]^[8]

Reactions

Titanium nitrate is hygroscopic, converting to ill-defined hydrates.^[14] The anhydrous material is highly reactive, even toward hydrocarbons.^[14] Titanium nitrate also reacts with n-dodecane,^[15] p-dichlorobenzene, anisole, biphenyl,^[15]^[16]

It decomposes thermally to titanium dioxide.^[17]
