Lead bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) Pb(S2CNEt2)2 has been applied as single source precursor for the growth of PbS films by MOCVD and PECVD[4]
Lead(II) dithiocarbamato complexes were utilized as precursors for the LP-MOCVD of lead sulfide thin films. Films consisting of cubic crystallites
with columnar growth strong [200] orientation were grown, as was determined by XRD . The approach has potential for the fabrication of IR detection devices.[[i]]

Lead diethyldithiocarbamate Pb(dedtc)2 (and for comparison PbPh4 and Pb(thd)2) attempted to as precursor for the growth of PbO2 thin films by ALD on Si(100) substrates, with ozone O3 as oxidant. However, using Pb(dedtc)2 as a Pb-containing precursor lead sulphate PbSO4 films were obtained instead, which upon annealing reacted with the substrate and formed lead silicate. The depositions were carried out at 300–350 °C for Pb(dedtc)2 (as compared to 185–400 °C for Ph4Pb and 150–300 °C for Pb(thd)2). [[i][PS1] ]
A series of lead dithiocarbamato complexes, [Pb(S2CNRR′)2] (R = Me, Et; R′ = iPr, nBu) was synthesised and characterised.
These compounds were utilised as single-source precursors for the growth of cubic lead sulfide PbS thin films by AACVD and LP-MOCVD on glass substrates The solid-state structures of the symmetrically substituted complexes, [Pb(S2CN(Hex)2)2] and [Pb(S2CN(Pentyl)2)2] were determined by single-crystal XRD.[[ii][PS2] ]
