description

Abstract The reaction between the yttrium β-diketonate complexes Y(tmhd)3(H2O)x (x=0 or 1) and 0.5 or 1 equivalent of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmeda=Me2NCH2CH2NMe2) in hexane at room temperature afforded [Y(tmhd)3]2(tmeda) (1) and Y(tmhd)3(tmeda) (2) derivatives, respectively. They have been characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy and by single crystal X-ray diffraction for 1. Variable temperature 1H NMR experiments indicated an equilibrium between 1 and 2. Their thermal behaviors were characterized by TGA and sublimation experiments. 2 is converted into compound 1 by heating over 100 °C. These precursors were used for the growth of Y2O3 and YBa2Cu3O7 − x films by pulsed injection metal organic chemical vapor deposition (PI-MOCVD).
