Synthesis of Highly Pure [Ti(dPm)2(i-C31-170)2] as a Source for MOCVD

Abstract

A dipivaroylmethane (Hdpm) chelate of titanium(N), [T, i(dpm)2(i-C3H70)2] was synthesized by the reaction of tetraisopropoxytitanium(N) with Hdpm in a nonaqueous solvent under a highly pure argon atmosphere and characterized by means of ICP, elemental analyses, FT-IR, 13C-NMR, and TG-DTA. The product was proved to be sufficiently pure so as to be used as a good source of MOCVD for the preparation of ferroelectric thin films.
