TL;DR: The distorted octahedral complexes [snCl4{nBuSe(CH2)nSenBu}] as discussed by the authors, obtained from reaction of SnCl4 with the neutral bidentate ligands and characterized by IR/Raman and multinuclear (1H, 77Se{1H} and 119Sn) NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, serve as very effective single source precursors for low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) of microcrystalline, single phase tin diselenide films onto SiO2

TL;DR: X-ray structures of SnF2 adducts and diphosphine complexes obtained from the attempts to synthesise phosphine complexes reveal trigonal pyramidal Sn(II) cores with longer fluorine bridges completing distorted 5- or 6-coordination, and the synthesis of [SnCl2(R3EO)2] has very asymmetric diph phosphine coordination best described as κ(1).

TL;DR: The neutral complexes [GaCl3(EnBu2] as discussed by the authors ] and [GCl3]2{tBuTe(CH2)3TetBu} have been shown to have distorted tetrahedral coordination at Ga.

TL;DR: In this paper, high quality, nanostructured Bi2Te3, with an unprecedented degree of positional and orientational control of the material form on the nanoscale, is readily obtained by low pressure chemical vapour deposition using a new molecular precursor.

TL;DR: The reactions of GaX3 with SMe2, SeMe2 and TeMe2 in non-coordinating solvents produces only the pseudo-tetrahedral [GaX3L], which is consistent with the weaker Lewis acidity of the gallium as the halide co-ligands become heavier.
