Antimony tris(dimethylcarbamate) Sb(O2CNMe2)3 was synthesized and characterized, its crystal structure was determined by single crystal XRD.
Sb(O2CNMe2)3 exists as a weakly bound dimer, whereas its diethyl and diisopropyl analogues are monomeric. Crystallographic data: for Sb(O2CNMe2)3, a = 8.7520(5) Å, b = 14.2970(8) Å, c = 11.8150(7) Å, β = 108.029(2)°, monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 4;
Sb(O2CNMe2)3 was demonstrated to be useful as a single-source precursor for the growth of
Sb2O3 thin films (senarmonite) by low-pressure CVD.[[i]]
