Synthesis and application of monomeric chalcogenolates of 13 group elements

Utilization of the N,C,N-chelating ligand L (L={2,6-(Me2 NCH2 )2 C6 H3 }(-) ) in the chemistry of 13 group elements provided either N-->In coordinated monomeric chalcogenides LIn(mu-E4 ) (E=S, Se) with unprecedented InE4 inorganic ring or monomeric chalcogenolates LM(EPh)2 (M=Ga, In). Complex LGa(SePh)2 was selected as the most suitable single source precursor (SSP) for the deposition of amorphous semiconducting GaSe thin films using spin coating method.
