The binuclear compounds [(Ph3P)CuM(SC{O}Ph)4] (M = Ga (1) or In (2)), [(Ph3P)2 AgGa(SC{O}Ph)4] (3), [(Ph3P)2 AgIn(SC{O}R)4] (R = Me (4) or Ph (5)) have been synthesized and
characterized. The solid-state structures of compounds 1−3 have been determined by X-ray
crystallography. Thermogravimetry and pyrolysis studies revealed that these compounds
decompose to give the corresponding ternary metal sulfide materials. However, using the
aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) method, In2S3 thin films were obtained
from 2 and AgIn5S8 thin films were obtained from compounds 4 and 5.
The new compounds [In(S2PiBu2)3] (1) and [Ga(S2PiBu2)3] (2) have been synthesized and characterized. Whereas in the structure of compound 1 the metal center was found to be six-coordinate, the metal center in compound 2 is four-coordinate, being bound to only one chelating and two pendant diisobutyldithiophsophinate ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
