Abstract

Present work demonstrates the synthesis of a novel heterobimetallic complex [Mg₂TiO(TFA)₆(THF)₂(H₂O)] (1) (where TFA = trifluoroacetato and THF = tetrahydrofuran), formed from the chemical interaction of magnesium (II) acetate tetrahydrate with titanium (IV) isopropoxide and trifluoroacetic acid in THF solution. Complex (1) adequately characterized through attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis was implemented as single source molecular precursor in the aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition. The deposition of magnesium orthotitanate (Mg₂TiO₄) ceramic films on fluorine doped tin oxide coated conducting glass substrate was observed at various temperatures of 500, 550 and 600 °C. Film characterization techniques including; X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy divulge the fabrication of phase pure spherical shaped Mg₂TiO₄ architectures with precise stoichiometry and high purity.
