Platinum MOCVD

Pt(S2CNMe(Hex))2] and [Pd(S2CNMe(Hex))2] have been synthesized and used as precursors to grow the first TOPO-capped PtS and PdS nanoparticles and thin films of PtS and PdS by the metallo-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method [204]. Platinum and palladium chalcogenides find applications in catalysis [205-210] and materials science [211,212]. The synthesis of thiocarbamato complexes of platinum and palladium from reaction of an aqueous solution of ammonium dithiocarbamate with the platinum or palladium salt has been reported by Nakamoto et al. [213]. However... 

PF3 is the strongest of the P-donor n acids and its ability to replace carbon monoxide in a zerovalent transition metal complex was realized in the 1940s by Chatt. However, WiUdnson was the first to isolate a homoleptic PF3 complex, viz. [Ni(PF3)4] see Homoleptic Compound), which turned out to be more thermally stable than [Ni(CO)4] subsequent research into the PF3 complexes of transition metals was carried out by Nixon. Bidentate ligands with two PF2 moieties have been prepared an example is F2P(l,2-cyclo-C6Hio)PF2. The volatility of the homoleptic PF3 transition metal species together with their relative stability has led to their use in MOCVD processes [Pt(PF3)4], for instance, has been used to deposit platinum films. ... 

The complex [Pt(CH3)2(l,5-cod)] (1,5-cod = l,S-cyclooctadiene) is widely used as a source of the Pt(CH3)2 moiety since the l,S-cyclooctadiene is readily substituted by phosphines, isocyanides, pyridines, and other ligands. Its volatility and clean thermal decomposition have led to its use in MOCVD experiments and as a source of finely dispersed platinum for heterogeneous catalysis. It can be made by treatment of suspensions of [PtCl2(l,S-cod)] or [Ptl2(l,5-cod)] in diethyl ether with MeLi, MeMgl, or LiCuMe2 in high...
