摘要:
The nickel complexes namely bis(2-hydroxyacetophenoato)nickel(II), Ni(ohap)(2) (1), bis(2-hydroxyacetophenamine) nickel(II), Ni(ohapim)(2) (2) and bis(2-hydroxypropiophenamine)nickel(II), Ni(ohppim)(2) (3) were synthesised in a systematic approach for the development of volatile nickel precursors for MOCVD. Upon screening these complexes by dynamic TG in an inert N-2 purge gas environment, only complexes 2 and 3 were found to be completely volatile by 363 and 373 degrees C, respectively. These two were further characterized by FT-IR, C, H, and N and FAB-mass spectrometry. The molecular masses of the predominant Ni bearing vapour species were found to be 326 and 355 Da for 2 and 3, respectively. The complex 3 was analysed by single crystal XRD, H-1 and C-13 NMR. The equilibrium vapour pressures (p(e)) of the precursors 2 and 3 over the temperature ranges of 486-581 and 443-552 K were determined by a TG-based transpiration technique, yielding values of 130.2 (+/- 7.2) and 113.3 (+/- 7.5) kJ mol (1), respectively, for their standard enthalpies of sublimation (Delta H-sub(0)).
