ABSTRACT
In this study, we synthesised and characterised a new zinc(II) triazenide for potential use in vapour deposition of zinc sulphide thin films. The compound is volatile and quantitatively sublimes at 80 °C under vacuum (0.5 mbar). Thermogravimetric analysis showed a one-step volatilisation with an onset temperature at â¼125 °C and 5% residual mass. The compound also reacted with 2 or 4 molar equivalents of triphenylsilanethiol to give dimeric and monomeric zinc thiolates, respectively. The high volatility, thermal stability, and reactivity with sterically hindered thiols makes this compound a potential candidate for use in vapour deposition of zinc containing thin films.
