Gallium, dithiocarbamate complexes

A number of gallium dithiocarbamate coordination complexes have been investigated for their potential suitability as single-source 111-VI precursors. These type of compounds are often referred to as Mitsubishi compounds owing to their stmctural resemblance to the respective company logo (Figure 25). Additionally this area has recently been reviewed. 

Gallium(III) complexes, 129 amines, 129 amino acids, 141 arsenates, 135 borates, 134 borohydrides, 141 bromates, 135 carbonates, 134 caiboxylates, 135 chlorates, 135 citrates, 136 cyanides, 129 dithiocarbamates, 138 ethers, 136 fluorides, 138 germanates, 134 hydrides, 140 iodates, 135 p-ketoenolates, 134 lactates, 136 mixed halides, 139 molybdates, 135 nitrates, 135 peptides, 141 perchlorates, 135... 

Sulfur complexes of Al, Ga, and In are less common, but the tris(dithiocarba-mates), M(dtc)3, and thiolato anions, Ga(SR)4, are known. The gallium and indium compounds differ structurally from most other tris(dithiocarbamates) in their close approach to a prismatic arrangement of S atoms.
