Evaluation of group 4 metal bis-cyclopentadienyl complexes with selenolate and tellurolate ligands for CVD of ME2Films (E = Se or Te)
The selenolate and tellurolate complexes [Cp2M(SeR)2] (M = Ti, Zr, or Hf; R = Me or But) and [Cp2M(TeBut)2] (M = Zr or Hf) have been prepared and characterized by 1H, 13C{1H}, 77Se{1H} and 125Te{1H} NMR spectroscopy and microanalysis. Crystal structures of representative examples are reported, together with the structure of the oxo-bridged species [{Cp2Zr(SeMe)}2(?-O)] formed by partial hydrolysis. Trends in the NMR parameters are discussed. These molecular [Cp2M(SeBut)2] complexes are shown to be suitable as precursors for the single source LPCVD of intensely colored MSe2 thin films for each of the Group 4 elements, confirmed by SEM/EDX and PXD. These are the first examples of single source CVD of ZrSe2 and HfSe2 thin films. The corresponding [Cp2M(TeBut)2] species (M = Zr or Hf) deposit elemental Te under similar LPCVD conditions.

Abstract

The selenolate and tellurolate complexes [Cp2M(SeR)2] (M = Ti, Zr, or Hf; R = Me or But) and [Cp2M(TeBut)2] (M = Zr or Hf) have been prepared and characterized by 1H, 13C{1H}, 77Se{1H} and 125Te{1H} NMR spectroscopy and microanalysis. Crystal structures of representative examples are reported, together with the structure of the oxo-bridged species [{Cp2Zr(SeMe)}2(?-O)] formed by partial hydrolysis. Trends in the NMR parameters are discussed. These molecular [Cp2M(SeBut)2] complexes are shown to be suitable as precursors for the single source LPCVD of intensely colored MSe2 thin films for each of the Group 4 elements, confirmed by SEM/EDX and PXD. These are the first examples of single source CVD of ZrSe2 and HfSe2 thin films. The corresponding [Cp2M(TeBut)2] species (M = Zr or Hf) deposit elemental Te under similar LPCVD conditions.
