Application

Reactant for synthesis of:
  • Nickel sandwich complexes
  • N-heterocyclic carbene complexes
  • Functionally substituted monocyclopentadienyl compounds

Features and Benefits

Volatile OMCVD precursor for the controlled growth of nickel nanoparticles on silicon substrates. Possible uses for metallic nickel nanoparticles embedded on silicon include the manufacture of high-density storage media 9. Nickel oxide thin films are generated via OMCVD in the presence of O2 or H2O2.
