Synthesis, solution dynamics and chemical vapour deposition of heteroleptic zinc complexes via ethyl and amide zinc thioureides.

ABSTRACT: Ethyl and amide zinc thioureides [L¹ZnEt]₂ (1), [L¹*ZnEt]₂ (2) and [L¹Zn(N(SiMe₃)₂)]₂ (3) have been synthesised from the equimolar reaction of thiourea ligands (HL¹ = ⁱPrN(H)CSNMe₂ and HL¹* = PhN(H)CSNMe₂) with diethyl zinc and zinc bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] respectively. New routes towards heteroleptic complexes have been investigated through reactions of 1, 2 and 3 with β-ketoiminates (HL² = [(Me)CN(H){ⁱPr}-CHC(Me)[double bond, length as m-dash]O]), bulky aryl substituted β-diiminates (HL³ = [(Me)CN(H){Dipp}-CHC(Me)[double bond, length as m-dash]N{Dipp}] (Dipp = diisopr
