“…[7] Thin platinum films have been deposited using several metal-organic precursors such as Pt(CH 3 )RL 2 (R = methyl, allyl vinyl or tertiarybutynyl and L = CH 3 NC or 1,5-cyclooctadiene), [8] Pt(hfa) 2 (Hhfa = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone), [9] cis-bis(h 2 ,h 1 -pent-4-en-1-yl)platinum, [10] CpPt(CH 3 ) 3 (Cp = cyclopentadienyl), [11] CH 3 CpPt(CH 3 ) 3, [11d,12] and from other precursors such as Pt(CO) 2 Cl 2 [13] and Pt(PF 3 ) 4 . [13,14] All of them require, however, the combined use of H 2 as reducing agent to deposit pure platinum films. Most of them, unfortunately, show low volatility and, in addition, in most cases are not commercially available.…”
