Mixed amido/imido/guanidinato complexes of niobium: potential precursors for MOCVD of niobium nitride thin films.

چکیده
Novel mixed amido/imido/guanidinato complexes of niobium are reported. The complexes were synthesized by insertion of two equivalents of di-isopropylcarbodiimide (i-Pr-cdi) or bis-cyclohexylcarbodiimide (Cy-cdi) respectively, into the niobium-amido bonds of [Nb(NR(2))(3)(N-t-Bu)] (, R = Me; , R = Et) starting out from [NbCl(3)(N-t-Bu)(py)(2)] and the respective LiNR(2) reagent (py = pyridine). Four representative examples of these mixed ligand amido/imido/guanidinato compounds were synthesized and were characterized by (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, (15)N-NMR, CHN-analysis, mass spectrometry and infra-red spectroscopy. The molecular structures of [Nb(NR(2)){eta(2)-(i-Pr-N)(2)C(NR(2))}(2)(N-t-Bu)] (, R = Me; , R = Et) in the solid state were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies and are discussed together with the molecular structure of the starting compound [Nb(NMe(2))(3)(N-t-Bu)] (). The thermal properties of the new compounds depend on the substitution at the guanidinato ligand. Complexes of i-Pr-cdi are significantly more volatile than complexes of Cy-cdi as revealed by thermogravimetric analysis. Preliminary experiments using as a single-molecule source for metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) in the absence of ammonia indicate the formation of the stoichiometric, and surprisingly carbon-free, cubic niobium nitride phase.

متن کاملSynthesis and reactivity of imido niobium complexes containing the functionalized (dichloromethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl ligand
The niobium complex [NbCpCl4] (Cp @g-C5H4(SiCl2Me)) (1) with a functionalized (dichloromethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl ligand was isolated by the reaction of [NbCl5] with C5H4(SiCl2Me)(SiMe3). Complex 1 was a precursor for the imido silylamido derivative [NbCpCl2(NtBu)] (Cp @g-C5H4[SiClMe(NHtBu)]) (2) after addition of LiNHtBu, which subsequently gave the dichlorosilyl compound [NbCpCl2(NtBu)] (3)...
متن کاملOptical Properties of Ultra - Thin Niobium Nitride Films for Single Photon Detectors by Lucy
In this thesis I made a study of the properties of reactively sputtered ultra-thin films of niobium nitride (NbN) and niobium titanium nitride (NbTiN). Using Variable Angle Spectral Ellipsometry (VASE), I found that the optical properties of NbN films appear to have a critical thickness above which the optical parameters stabilize. I also found that the deposition process has better stability o...
متن کاملMicrowave Surface Resistance of Reactively Sputtered NbN Thin Films
The surface resistance of niobium nitride {NbN) thin films has been measured at 7. 78 and 10.14 GHz in the temperature range of 1.5 to 4.2 K. The films were reactively sputtered on sapphire substrates to a thickness of approximately 1 micron. The surface resistance was determined by measuring the quality factor (Q) of the TEo] 1 mode of a lead-plated copper cavity where the NbN served as one en...
