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: In this paper, the effects of surface oxidation on the capacitance of titanium nitride electrode surfaces, produced by reaction of titanium foils with ammonia, were examined, and it was found that electrochemical oxidation was more successful in increasing the surface capacitance than thermal oxidation.

TL;DR: Analysis of the first-principles calculations reveals that large-amplitude distortions of the inorganic framework are driven by both zero-point-energy fluctuations and thermally activated cation motions, which brings to the fore the pressing need to bridge the gap between the long-range order seen by crystallographic methods and the local environment around the organic cation probed by neutron spectroscopy.

TL;DR: The reaction of RS(CH(2))(2)SR with NbF(5) produces complexes which contain distorted eight-coordinate cations and octahedral anions and the fluoride complexes decompose slowly with fluorination of the neutral ligand.

TL;DR: The molecular Sn(iv) complexes have been prepared in good yield from reaction of SnCl4 with the appropriate chalcogenoether ligand in anhydrous hexane and employed as single source precursors for the low pressure chemical vapour deposition of the corresponding tin dichalcogenside thin films.
