Group 14 metal complexes of heavy chalcogen-centered anions, M[(TeP(i)Pr(2))(2)N](2) (5, M = Sn; 6, M = Pb) and M(TeP(i)Pr(2)NP(i)Pr(2)Se)(2) (7, M = Sn; 8, M = Pb), were synthesized in 64-89% yields by metathesis of alkali-metal salts of the ligands with group 14 metal dihalides. Crystallographic characterization of the complexes revealed that 5, 6, and 8 engage in metal...chalcogen secondary bonds to generate dimers, whereas 7 is monomeric in the solid state. Multinuclear ((1)H, (31)P, (77)Se, and (125)Te) solution NMR data for these homoleptic complexes evinced dynamic behavior leading to the equivalence of the two ligand environments. The Pb(II) complex 6 was utilized as a single-source precursor to micrometer-scale lead telluride particles via two divergent techniques: aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition of the complex in THF/CH(2)Cl(2) solution onto glass substrates yielded rectangular prisms, while solution injection of 6 in tri-n-octylphosphine onto Si/SiO(2)(100) substrates heated to 200-220 degrees C resulted in the formation of wires. PXRD and EDX analysis of the products confirmed the phase purity of the PbTe materials.

TiO:Eu nanoparticles with varying europium concentrations were successfully synthesized via a one-pot sol-gel approach using a molecular heterometallic single-source precursor (SSP) Eu-Ti. For comparison, nanomaterials with similar europium levels were also produced by impregnating europium salts onto the same TiO substrate. All the nanomaterials were thoroughly characterized using Eu elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning (SEM), transmission (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL).

The rational design and synthesis of bifunctionally active and durable oxygen electrocatalysts have garnered significant attention for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. Intermetallic nanostructures are particularly promising for these applications due to their unique catalytic properties and exceptional durability. In this study, we present a fascinating synthetic approach for the direct synthesis of a bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst based on nitrogen-doped carbon-encapsulated ordered PdFe (o-PdFe@NC) intermetallic, using a cyano-bridged bimetallic single-source precursor tailored for aqueous rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs).

Nanocrystals are widely explored for a range of medical, imaging, sensing, and energy conversion applications. CdS nanocrystals have been reported as excellent photocatalysts, with thin film CdS also highly important in photovoltaic devices. To optimise properties of nanocrystals, control over phase, facet, and morphology are vital.

Semiconductor devices are constructed from stacks of materials with different electrical properties, making deposition of thin layers central in producing semiconductor chips. The shrinking of electronics has resulted in complex device architectures which require deposition into holes and recessed features. A key parameter for such deposition is the step coverage (SC), which is the ratio of the thickness of material at the bottom and at the top.

Dichalcogenoimidodiphosphinate complexes of zinc [Zn{(EPPr)N}], [E=Se,Se; S,Se] were synthesized through metathetical reactions from the dichalcogenoimidodiphosphinate ligands [(EE'PPrNH)] (E, E'=Se, Se; S, Se). These complexes were characterized and used as single-source precursors through Aerosol-Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition (AACVD) for the deposition of cubic zinc selenide (ZnSe) films on glass substrates. The deposition temperature occurred at 500 and 525 °C, while the flow rates of the carrier gas was 160 and 240 standard cubic centimetre (sccm).
