Mixed organotin(IV) chalcogenides: from molecules to Sn-S-Se semiconducting thin films deposited by spin-coating

Put the right spin on it: Mixed monomeric organotin(IV) chalcogenides of the general formula L(2)Sn(2)EX(2) containing two terminal Sn-X (X = Se, Te) bonds were prepared and were tested as potential single-source precursors for the deposition of semiconducting thin films. Spin-coating deposition of [{2,6-(Me(2)NCH(2))(2)C(6)H(3)}SnSe](2)(μ-S), as the useful single-source precursor, provided amorphous Sn-S-Se semiconducting thin films.
