Bismuth(III) dialkyldithiophosphates: Facile single source precursors for the preparation of bismuth sulfide nanorods and bismuth phosphate thin films

Solvothermal decomposition of bismuth(III) dialkyldithiophosphates in ethylene glycol gave Bi2S3 nanoparticles, whereas aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition of these single source precursors deposited Bi2P4O13 thin films.
