Synthesis, characterization and application of Ni(tta)2.tmeda to MOCVD of nickel oxide thin films.

A novel nickel beta-diketonate adduct, Ni(tta)2.tmeda, has been synthesized using 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone as the beta-diketonate and N,N,N,'N'-tetramethylethylendiamine as the Lewis base. It has been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.

A novel diamine adduct of zinc bis(2-thenoyl-trifluoroacetonate) as a promising precursor for MOCVD of zinc oxide films.

A novel diamine (N,N,N',N'-tetramethyletilendiamine) adduct of zinc bis(2-thenoyl-trifluoroacetonate) has been synthesized in a single-step reaction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of Zn(tta)(2).tmeda provide evidence of a mononuclear structure with a six-coordinated zinc ion.
