Abstract
Tert-Butylamine reacts with titanium tetrachloride to produce [TiCl{sub 2}(NtBu)(NH{sub 2}tBu){sub 2}]{sub 3} at 90% yield. Upon changing solvents, a second treatment tert-butylamine converts the first complex to [TiCl{sub 2}(NtBu)(NH{sub 2}tBu){sub 3}]. Tert-Butylamine is liable from the compounds dissociating from the latter on sitting and from both during sublimation. Further treatment of of these compounds with triphenylphosphine oxide, tetramethyethylenediamine, or N,N{prime}-diisopropylethylenediamine yields [TiCl{sub 2}(NtBu)(NH{sub 2}tBu)L{sub 2}]. The crystal structure of the latter compounds was obtained by X-ray diffraction. All Ti-imido complexes were characterized by mass spectroscopy in order to assess what gas phase species relative to CVD are present.
