Synthesis and characterization of polyether adducts of group 2 metal thioacetates: Single‐source precursors to binary metal sulfide films, MS, where M Ca, Sr, Ba

New polyether adducts of group 2 thioacetate complexes for the formation of binary metal sulfides are described. The synthesis and characterization of such precursors and their thermal reactivity to form the corresponding binary metal sulfides are briefly reported here. It is also shown that they can be used as single‐source precursors for aerosol‐assisted CVD, as illustrated by the deposition of CaS from Ca(SOCMe)2 · 15‐crown‐5.
