Rational construction of mixed-metal alkoxides

Abstract
The acidic protons in Zr2(OR)8(ROH)2, R = Pri, serve as a controlled functionality and react with Ba metal and with LiNMe2 to give the hydrocarbon-soluble heterometallic alkoxides Ba2Zr4(OR)20 and LiZr2(OR)9(ROH) which have been characterized in solution by NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray diffraction: Zr2(OR)9 units bind the Li+ and Ba2+via bridging alkoxides and, for Li+, a terminal alcohol ligand which hydrogen bonds to a terminal alkoxide on zirconium.
