Indium(III), antimony(III) and bismuth(III) dihalide complexes with tridentate, anionic thio- and selenosemicarbazonato ligands

Some indium(III), antimony(III) and bismuth(III) dihalide complexes containing deprotonated, tridentate thio- and selenosemicarbazone ligands were prepared and were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods. In addition, the crystal structures of some of the compounds were obtained. TGA and DSC analyses were carried out on selected samples to assess their suitability as single-molecule precursors for metal selenide nanomaterials.
