Metal-Oxygen-Metal' Ring Formation in Metal Alkoxide Systems

Abstract

Salient features of the work carried out during the last few years on the alkoxide ring systems with chelating alcohols such as alkoxyalcohols, aminoalcohols, phosphino alcohols, glycols as well as monofunctional alcohols, are discussed.

Keywords::

• Metal-oxygen-metal' rings
• siloxides
• chelating alcohols
• glycoxides
• amino- and phosphino-alkoxides
