Abstrakt: Thin films of tantalum oxide and niobium oxide have been deposited by liquid injection MOCVD using solutions of Ta(OEt)4(dbm) (1) or Nb(OEt)4(dbm) (2) (dbm = dibenzoyl methanate = 1,3‐diphenyl‐1,3‐propanedionate). The presence of the dbm ligand imparts unusual thermal stability to the complexes, allowing oxide films to be deposited at relatively high substrate temperatures (650 °C and higher). Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction (XRD) shows the complexes to be mononuclear, with distorted octahedral configurations.
