Abstract

We demonstrate that iron and nickel thin films can be produced by pyrolysis of ferrocene and nickelocene respectively. These thin films adhere very well to steel and nickel substrates. Analysis of available thermodynamic data suggests that plasma deposition and photoassisted deposition of iron and nickel from their metallocenes is energetically feasible. Thermodynamic Born-Haber cycles illuminating the gaseous decomposition of ferrocene, nickelocene and cobaltocene are presented.
