Vanadium selenoether and selenolate complexes, potential single-source precursors for CVD of VSe2 thin films
Abstract
Reactions of VCl4 with one mol equiv. of L–L (L–L = MeSe(CH2)2SeMe, MeSe(CH2)3SeMe, nBuSe(CH2)2SenBu) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 solution at room temperature give [VCl4(L–L)] as very moisture-sensitive dark purple solids. Using VCl4 and excess selenoether in gently refluxing CH2Cl2 leads to
