摘要:
A method for producing Group 8 (VIII) metallocene or metallocene-like compounds employs a compound that includes a Cp' anion, such as found, together with a counterion, in a cyclopentadienide or cyclopentadienide-like salt. In one embodiment, the method includes reacting a metal salt, a (Cp) compound, such as a substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadiene or indene, and a ligand (L) to form an intermediate compound and reacting the intermediate compound with a Cp' compound, eg., a cyclopentadienide or cyclopentadienide-like salt, where the metal salt can be is a ruthenium, an osmium or an iron halide or nitrate and L is an electron pair donor. Unsubstituted, mono-substituted as well as symmetrically or asymmetrically di- or multi-substituted metallocenes or metallocene-like compounds can be produced. In another embodiment, unsubstituted or symmetrically substituted metallocenes are formed by reacting MX2(PPh3)m with a Cp' compound, where m = 3 or 4. The method can be used to form precursors for chemical vapor deposition of thin films.
摘要:
Asymmetric, disubstituted metallocene compounds have the general formula CpMCp' where M is a metal selected from the group consisting of Ru, Os and Fe; Cp is a first substituted cyclopentdienyl or indenyl moiety that includes at least one substituent group D1; Cp' is a second substituted cyclopentadienyl or indenyl moiety that includes at least one substituent group D1'. D1 is different from D1'. D1 is X; Ca1Hb1Xc1; Ca2Hb2Xc2(C=O) Ca1Hb1Xc1; or Ca2Hb2Xc2O Ca1Hb1Xc1, where X is a halogen atom or nitro group; a1 is an integer between 2 and 8; b1 is an integer between 0 and 2 (a1)+1-c1; c1 is an integer between 0 and 2 (a1) + 1 - b1; b1 + c1 is at least 1; a2 is an integer between 0 and 8; b2 is an integer between 0 and 2 (a2) + 1 - c2; and c2 is an integer between 0 and 2 (a2) + 1 - b2; and D1' is X; Ca1Hb1Xc1; Ca2Hb2Xc2(C=O) Ca1Hb1Xc1; or Ca2Hb2Xc2O Ca1Hb1Xc1, where X is a halogen atom or nitro group; a1 is an integer between 1 and 8; b1 is an integer between 0 and 2 (a1) +1 -c1; c1 is an integer between 0 and 2 (a1) +1 -b1; b1 + c1 is at least 1; a2 is an integer between 0 and 8; b2 is an integer between 0 and 2 (a2) + 1 - c2; and c2 is an integer between 0 and 2 (a2) + 1 - b2. The compounds can be employed as precursors in film deposition processes.
