This dissertation focuses of three different subjects. The first is the synthesis and characterization of heptacoordinate amidinate compounds. Heptacoordinate compounds are not common, but their structures have been studied. Group 4 amidinate compounds have been used as precursors in the CVD/ ALD processes. Ancillary ligands, such as amidinates, have been used to reduce air-sensitivity of complexes. Reactions of these complexes with water have been used to make metal oxide thin films.
In the first study, the complexes Zr[MeC(NiPr)2]3Cl [zirconium trisamidinate chloride], Hf[MeC(NiPr)2]3Cl [hafnium trisamidinate chloride], Zr[MeC(NiPr) …
