Abstract:
Abstract Several carboxylic acid derivatives of yttrium that have potential as metal organic deposition (MOD) precursors for yttria were prepared and characterized. These included a traditional MOD precursor bearing 2-ethylhexanoate ligands and a new class of precursors bearing poly-ether carboxylic acid ligands. Notably, the latter complexes are viscous liquids.
