Thermolysis of lanthanide dithiocarbamate complexes
摘要:
Polycrystalline lanthanide sulfide materials were formed at low temperatures using a single-source precursor based on the lanthanide dithiocarbamate complex. The synthesis temperatures aye generally lower than standard solid state preparations, avoid toxic sulfurizing gases and provide a convenient route to prepare lanthanide chalcogenide nanoparticles. Depending on the reaction conditions and oxophilicity of the lanthanide, the Sulfide material was formed with oxidized products including oxysulfides, oxysulfates and the oxide.
