Metal imidazolate complexes are described where imidazoles ligands functionalized with bulky groups and their anionic counterpart, i.e., imidazolates are described. Compounds comprising one or more such polyalkylated imidazolate anions coordinated to a metal or more than one metal, selected from the group consisting of alkali metals, transition metals, lanthanide metals, actinide metals, main group metals, including the chalcogenides, are contemplated. Alternatively, multiple different imidazole anions, in addition to other different anions, can be coordinated to metals to make new complexes. The synthesis of novel compounds and their use to form thin metal containing films is also contemplated.
