Abstract

A series of volatile mixed-ligand iridium(I) complexes [Ir(cod)(L)] (cod = cyclooctadiene-1,5, L = R1C(O)CHC(O)R2, R1 = CF3, R2 = CF3 – hfac 1, Me – tfac 2; tBu – ptac 3, Ph – btfac 4, R1 = R2 = Me – acac 5; tBu – thd 6) was synthesized and investigated in terms of usage in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition processes. Compounds 3 and 4 were obtained for the first time. All compounds were investigated by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and mass spectrometry. Crystal structures of 2–4 and 6 were determined by single-crystal XRD. The influence of β-diketonate ligand on the thermal properties of complexes in condensed and gas phase was revealed. The following volatility order was arranged: L = hfac 1 > tfac 2 ≈ ptac 3 > acac 5 > thd 6 > btfac 4. Complexes 1 and 6 vapors demonstrated the lowest and the highest thermostability, respectively.
