Organotitanium Fluorides as Matrices for Trapping Molecular ZnF2 and MeZnF

Dedicated to Professor Marianne BaudlerThe understanding of forming single crystals from solutionis still in its infancy. Moreover it is very often precisely thisstep which is rate-determining for the progress of the researchwork. Therefore we became interested in studying thebehavior of “molecular solids”. A leading strategy in ourinvestigations is the HSAB (hard soft acid base) concept ofPearson.
