AbstractVanadium nitride films reflect infrared radiation and are candidates for solar control coatings for glass. Herein we report our efforts to prepare new precursors to vanadium nitride coatings. Treatment of vanadium tetrachloride with primary alkylamines in dichloromethane affords vanadium chloride amides of the empirical formula [VCI2(NHR)2(NH2R)2]. The characterization and properties of these compounds is presented. The complexes [VC12(NHR)2(NH2R)2] can be sublimed at ca. 100°C (0.1 mmHg) and serve as single-source precursors to vanadium carbonitride films. Films have been deposited in the temperature range of 400-600°C on glass and silicon substrates. The film properties and characterization will be overviewed.

ABSTRACTThe syntheses of the first single-source precursors to gold-colored titanium nitride films are reported. The precursors have the empirical formula [TiCl2(NHR)2(NH2R)0–2] and [TiCl4(NH3)2] and are obtained upon treatment of titanium tetrachloride with alkylamines or ammonia in nonpolar organic solvents. Both precursors sublime without decomposition between 80–120 °C and 0.01–0.1 mmHg. Deposition of titanium nitride films on glass and silicon substrates was achieved using either precursor at substrate temperatures of 475–600 °C. The films were characterized by x-ray diffraction, resistivity measurements, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In particular, low levels of carbon and chlorine contaminants were observed in the films.
