Thiourea-Derived Single-Source Molecular Precursor For Spin-Coated PbS Thin Films.

ABSTRACT: In search of a suitable single-source precursor for the deposition of nanostructured PbS thin films at moderate temperatures under ambient conditions, we have synthesized the ligand N-(thiomorpholine-4-carbothioyl)benzamide and its corresponding lead(II) complex. The structures of both compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the complex, two ligands coordinate to a lead(II) atom in hemi-directed geometry through S and O atoms. Secondary intermolecular Pb⋅⋅⋅S interactions group the complexes into pairs. As bulk powders, both the ligand and complex show nominal composition and purity as evidenced by elemental analysis, ¹ H NMR and IR spectroscopy. Thermal analysis of the lead(II) complex was carried out to understand its thermal decomposition behaviour fo
