Cost efficient preparation of lead aminoalkoxides directly from lead(II) oxide

Chelating aminoalkoxides of lead were prepared directly from the reaction of lead (II) oxide with dimethylaminoethanol (dmaeH), N-methyldiethanolamine (mdeaH2), and triethanolamine (teaH3) in refluxing toluene. The compounds are free of inorganic counterions, making them potentially useful as metal-organic precursors for thin film oxides.
