Organolanthanides in Materials Science

Abstract
Various uses of organolanthanide complexes in materials science are reviewed. The most advanced application involves doping of III—V semiconductors using substituted tris(cyclopentadienyl)lanthanide complexes as precursors. Major efforts have been made to develop volatile liquid organolanthanides by introducing suitable substituents on the cyclopentadienyl rings. Lanthanide organometallics have also been demonstrated to be useful MOCVD precursors for the deposition of lanthanide oxide thin films.
