Application

The purpose of 2,6-Bis(Hydroxymethyl)-P-Cresol is to serve as an effective bridging ligand in creating complex structures with metal compounds. Notably, it plays a crucial role in the formation of binuclear oxovanadium(V) compounds, which can transform into oligomeric forms when exposed to white light and oxygen. Furthermore, this ligand interacts with titanium(IV) alkoxides, facilitating the formation of stable tetranuclear complexes. Such complexes leverage the molecular geometry of 2,6-Bis(Hydroxymethyl)-P-Cresol to ensure a perfect alignment with the octahedral structures of titanium, resulting in a robust framework where the ligand acts as chelating, chelating-bridging, or tridentate units.
