Synthesis of the Elusive Branched Fluoro-oligogermane (Ph3Ge)3GeF: A Structural, Spectroscopic, Electrochemical, and Computational Study

A series of new mixed-substituted heteronuclear precursors with preformed Si–Ge bonds has been synthesized via a two-step synthesis protocol. The molecular sources combine convenient handling with sufficient thermal lability to provide access to group IV alloys with low carbon content. Differences in the molecule–material conversion by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques are described and traced back to the molecular design. This study illustrates the possibility of tailoring the physical and chemical properties of single-source precursors for their application in the CVD of Si1–xGex coatings. Moreover, partial crystallization of the Si1–xGex has been achieved by Ga metal-supported CVD growth, which demonstrated the potential of the presented precursor class for the synthesis of crystalline group IV alloys.

Mixed-Substituted Single-Source Precursors for Si1–xGex Thin Film Deposition

The synthesis of the hexagermane Pri3Ge(GePh2)4GePri3 was achieved starting from the cyclotetragermane (Ph2Ge)4. Ring-opening of (Ph2Ge)4 with Br2 yielded Br(GePh2)4Br that was converted to H(GePh2...
