Synthesis and Application of Monomeric Chalcogenolates of 13 Group Elements

Utilization of the N,C,N‐chelating ligand L (L={2,6‐(Me₂NCH₂)₂C₆H₃}^?) in the chemistry of 13 group elements provided either N→In coordinated monomeric chalcogenides LIn(μ‐E₄) (E=S, Se) with unprecedented InE₄ inorganic ring or monomeric chalcogenolates LM(EPh)₂ (M=Ga, In). Complex LGa(SePh)₂ was selected as the most suitable single source precursor (SSP) for the deposition of amorphous semiconducting GaSe thin films using spin coating method.
