Synthesis, crystal structure and thermal behavior of dimethylgold(III) derivatives of salicylaldimine Schiff bases - Novel precursors for gold MOCVD applications

Dimethylgold(III) derivatives of salicylaldimine Schiff bases were studied as viable MOCVD precursors to gold nanomaterials. Gold nanoparticles 5-15 nm were deposited at temperatures lower than 200 °C by pulse MOCVD.
