New heterometallic interesting trinuclear, Zr{η 3, μ 2-NH(C 2H 4O) 2} 3[Ti(O i Pr) 3] 2 encountering a nona-coordinated central zirconium atom crystallizes at −30 °C from a solution of zirconium and titanium isopropoxides and diethanolamine (Zr:Ti:L=1:2:3) in hydrocarbons. Due to its solution stability, this structurally characterized compound is an attractive potential precursor in sol–gel technique for the preparation of mixed metal oxide materials.
