The use of silver(I)-2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]acetate as precursor in the deposition of thin silver layers on float glass by the atmospheric pressure combustion chemical vapor deposition process

The innovative use of silver(I)-2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]acetate ([AgO2C(CH2OCH2)3H], 3) as precursor for the deposition of silver on float glass by applying the atmospheric pressure combustion chemical vapor deposition process is described. As nucleation layer tungsten oxide was utilized, conformal, closed and dense silver layers of ca. 70 nm thickness were obtained. They are adhesive and high reflective with a resistivity of 5 ∙ 10−8 Ωm.
