DC conduction in bis(dimethylglyoximato)palladium(II) thin films

Bis(dimethylglyoximato)palladium (II) complex thin films of polycrystalline structure were prepared by sublimation in a vacuum at 140°C on p‐Si substrates. After carrying out the characterisation of the prepared films by X‐ray diffraction and X‐ray fluorescence methods, Al‐complex‐Si MIS devices were fabricated. The constructed MIS structure was characterised by measuring the capacitance as a function of gate voltage at 1 MHz. The dependence of dc‐current density on gate voltage and temperature in the range of 293 ‐ 328 K of the MIS device was measured. It was found that the experimental data follow the trap‐charge‐limited space‐charge‐limited conductivity mechanism, from which the total concentration and the exponential energy distribution of the trap density were determined. In general, the measured quantities suggest that the conduction can be realised by thermally assisted hopping between localised states bundled in a very narrow band lying energetically near the mobility band edge. Moreover, results show that it is possible to use a film of the complex in applications of low‐k dielectric material. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The crystal and molecular structure of bis(tetramethylammonium) pentachlorooxomolybdate(V)‐acetonitrile(1:1)

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₂₇Cl₅MoN₃O was determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction technique. The crystals are monoclinic, space group C 2/m, with a= 29.075(8) Å, b= 11.843(4) Å, c= 13.252(4) Å, β=117.049(7)°, V = 4064(2) ų, Z=8.

In the pentachlorooxomolybdate anion, the planar chlorines are bent away from the axial oxygen ligand. The Mo‐O bond length is 1.6620(18) Å that indicates significant double bond character. The oxygen trans Mo‐Cl bond is significantly longer than all of the planar Mo‐Cl bonds. These differences can be attributed to a trans influence of the oxygen atom.
