Synthesis and Magnetic and Structural Characterization of the First Homoleptic Lanthanideβ-Ketoiminate

“…Several systems being explored involve lanthanide elements as the dopant, including Si:Er, SrS:Ce, and (Al, Ga)As:Er . Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of metal oxides often relies on β -diketonates, although amides recently have emerged as versatile alternatives for several compositions. − , Hybrid ligands between these two categories, β -ketoiminates, have been appended to numerous transition elements and were evaluated recently for barium so it was desired to prepare examples from this group for further evaluation as potential dopant sources for electronic materials.…”
