PREPARATION, CHARACTERISATION, AND SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF HOMO- AND HETEROBIMETALLIC PINACOLATE DERIVATIVES OF ALKALINE EARTH METALS

ABSTRACT

Reactions of insoluble metal glycolates of the type with Al(OPr-i)₃ in 1:2 molar ratio in C₆H₆ afford hydrocabon-soluble heterobimetallic pinacolate derivatives . All of these derivatives have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight measurements, and spectroscopic [IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁷Al)] studies.
