Heterobimetallic [Cu(II)-Ti(IV)]-μ-oxoisopropoxide serve as efficient single-source precursors for the synthesis of mixed-metal oxide nanoparticles. This approach is particularly advantageous for catalytic, electronic, and magnetic ap-plications, where synergistic metal interactions play a crucial role. The study of such precursors expands the scope of advanced functional materials with improved performance in diverse technological domains. Heterobimetallic [Cu(II)-Ti(IV)]-µ-oxo-isopropoxides have been prepared by thermal condensation of anhydrous copper acetate and tita-nium isopropoxide in molar ratio 1:2 in xylene and decaline. The product was found to be volatile viscous liquid and highly susceptible to hydrolysis even by atmospheric moisture. The product exihibited monomeric character in some non-polar solvents. The decomposition of these precursors under controlled thermal conditions leads to the formation of nanoscale mixed-metal oxides with well-defined stoichiometry, high crystallinity, and enhanced functional properties. The product has been characterized utilizing XRD, FTIR, Raman, NMR, UV-Vis, and EPR spectroscopy.
