A series of Group 13 halide complexes of Sb n Bu3, [GaX3(Sb n Bu3)] and [InX3(Sb n Bu3)] (X = Cl, Br , I) have been prepared by reaction of the appropriate trihalide with Sb n Bu3 in n-hexane or CH2Cl2 solution, and characterised by microanalysis, IR, 1 H, 13 C{ 1 H} and 71 Ga NMR spectroscopy. X-Ray crystal structures are reported for [InX3(Sb n Bu3)] (X = Cl, Br) and [GaX3(Sb n Bu3)]. Similar pseudotetrahedral complexes of AsEt3, [GaCl3(AsEt3)], [InCl3(AsEt3)] and the five-coordinate [InCl3(AsEt3)2] were also obtained and their structures determined. Attempts to use [InCl3(SbR3)] and [GaCl3(SbR3)] (R = n Bu, Et) as single source precursors for low pressure CVD growth of InSb or GaSb films were unsuccesful, instead producing elemental antimony, while [GaCl3(AsEt3)] and [InCl3(AsEt3)] failed to produce any deposition under similar conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
