Abstract

Precursors for thin-film deposition have gained increasing research interest, driven by their industrial significance. Herein, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a family of Zn complexes for ZnO fabrication via CVD, ALD/ALE, and MLD. Four zinc complexes possessing pyrrole moieties, Zn(L1)₂ to Zn(L4)₂ (L1H = N-tert-butyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methanimine, L2H = N-tert-pentyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methanimine, L3H = N-neopentyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methanimine, and L4H = N-tert-octyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methanimine), were synthesized and characterized using various analytical methods, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS), and X-ray crystallography. The ligands acted as monoanionic bidentate ligands. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that complexes 2 and 4 were homoleptic monomeric conformers with distorted tetrahedral geometries, with calculated τ’₄ values of 0.744 and 0.738 for 2 and 4, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis of all complexes showed a clear, single-step weight loss and exceptional volatility, with low residual masses of 0.35 − 4.41 % at 400 °C. The temperature at which a vapor pressure of 1 Torr was reached and the enthalpies of vaporization were calculated using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, resulting in values of 148 °C and 105.11 kJ/mol for 2, and 169 °C and 101.31 kJ/mol for 4, respectively.

期刊介绍： Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry. Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
