August Schubiger, co-examiner Zurich, 2009 Dedicated to my parents I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale. Marie Curie (1867 - 1934) The great tragedy of Science – the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact. Thomas H. Huxley (1825 - 1895) Acknowledgments First of all I would like to thank Prof. Karl-Heinz Altmann for giving me the opportunity to accomplish my PhD thesis in his research group. I had always the freedom to come up with my own ideas and suggestions and I did really appreciate his guidance, support and interest in my project. I am grateful to Prof. Pius August Schubiger for being the co-examiner of my thesis. Furthermore, he did not hesitate to support me when I kindly asked him to act as a referee for funding bodies. In addition I would like to thank Prof. Michael Detmar and Benjamin Vigl for our collaboration. My personal thanks go Silvia Anthoine Dietrich, Dr. Cotinica Hamel, Fabienne Zdenka Gaugaz, Didier Zurwerra and Dr. Evgeny Prusov. I was fortunate to work together with these highly skilled chemists and understanding as well as supporting characters. Thanks to all of them I enjoyed my time at the ETH and in Switzerland. Kurt Hauenstein is a patient, very helpful, hard-working and highly skilled technician. Thanks to him, I learned a lot of practical skills and I really appreciate that. During my PhD thesis I was responsible for the supervision of three undergraduate students during their “Semesterarbeit” as well as their diploma and master theses. Fabienne Zdenka Gaugaz is a highly talented and motivated student, who owns an indefatigable positive mind and charisma. I am really proud of her return to the group and that she started her own PhD thesis in 2008. Heike Kirchner stayed with me for her external diploma thesis and I appreciated her being a passionate and hardworking student, even if she had to overcome several synthesis problems. Luca Fransioli was my last student and he did a fantastic job. He almost finished two synthesis projects with his straightforward and painstaking working attitude. I wish him all the best for his future and I envy his new colleagues. I would also like to thank Dr. Pascal Furet (Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research, Basel) for modeling studies and Dr. Doriano Fabbro (Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research, Basel) for the biological evaluation of my compounds.

  • Adduct Purification of Trimethylgallium Using 4-Dimethylaminopyridine
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 41, April, 2012 Adduct Purification of Trimethylgallium using 4-Dimethylaminopyridine Selvakumar Dhanasingh1*, Rajendra Singh2 and Mohammed Nasim3 1Defence BioEngineering and Electromedical laboratory, C. V. Raman Nagar, Bangalore – 560 093, India 2Directorate of ER & IPR, DRDO Bhawan, Rajaji Marg, New Delhi – 110105, India 3Defence Materials & Stores Research and Development Establishment, DMSRDE P.O., G.T. Road, Kanpur – 208 013, India [email protected] Abstract 1:1 and 2:1 adducts of trimethylgallium (TMGa) with 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) were synthesized and characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, FAB-MS and Trace elemental analyses using ICP-MS. Both adducts are non-pyrophoric, thermally dissociable and easy to handle. FAB-MS study suggests that the adducts are associated in tetrameric forms. TMGa of purity more than 99.999% (5N) was released from these adducts, which shows the adducts are potential candidates to produce high pure metal alkyl sources for Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Keywords: Trimethylgallium, pyrophoric, MOCVD precursor, adduct purification technique 1. Introduction The electronic properties of II-VI and III-V compound semiconducting thin films deposited by MOCVD method are mainly determined by the purity of the precursors [1, 2]. As most of the metal alkyls for MOCVD are volatile and highly reactive pyrophoric liquids, the physical purification methods such as, fractional distillation and low temperature crystallization are difficult to employ and often large amount of metal alkyls need to be discarded to obtain them with high purity. However, these metal alkyls can be purified by ‘adduct purification technique’, which involves the formation of adducts between the metal alkyl with an appropriate Lewis base, which are easy to handle and can be purified by re- crystallization [3, 4, 5].

  • The First Hydrides of Boron
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE CIÊNCIAS SECÇÃO AUTÓNOMA DE HISTÓRIA E FILOSOFIA DAS CIÊNCIAS UNDER THE CARBON SPELL: DIBORANE’S PUZZLING STRUCTURE AND THE EMERGENGE OF BORON CHEMISTRY Nuno Manuel Castanheira de Figueiredo Dissertação orientada pela Professora Doutora Ana Simões, da Secção Autónoma de Filosofia e História das Ciências da Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa. MESTRADO EM HISTÓRIA E FILOSOFIA DAS CIÊNCIAS 2011 Resumo Este trabalho apresenta o primeiro estudo sistemático da história da química dos boranos, compostos de boro e hidrogénio cujas estruturas e natureza das ligações químicas desafiaram de forma irredutível a teoria da ligação química até aos anos cinquenta do século XX. Actualmente, a química do boro é um dos mais promissores ramos da química, com um vasto leque de aplicações às indústrias química e farmacéutica, à nano-tecnologia e à medicina. Neste último ramo, destacam-se as aplicações na luta contra o cancro e no desenvolvimento de medicamentos com um elevado grau de especificidade e inovação. Num futuro próximo, espera-se que a química do boro seja capaz de operar uma verdadeira revolução social, posicionando-se como uma poderosa alternativa à química do carbono que será capaz de oferecer todo um novo mundo de aplicações inéditas. Estas são o resultado da fascinante capacidade do átomo de boro para se ligar de formas surpreendentes e formar complexas estruturas que se baseiam em compostos de boro e hidrogénio (boranos). A grande apetência do boro para se ligar ao oxigénio impede que os boranos existam na natureza. A grande susceptibilidade destes à acção da humidade e do ar torna-os especialmente instáveis e difíceis de manusear e preservar.

  • Filament-Activated Chemical Vapour Deposition of Nitride Thin Films
    ADVANCED MATERIALS FOR OPTICS AND ELECTRONICS, VOL 6,135-146 (1996) Review Paper Filament-activated Chemical Vapour Deposition of Nitride Thin Films Sadanand V. Deshpande,* Jeffrey L. Dupuiet and Erdogan Gulari* Department of Chemical Engineering and Center for Display Technology and Manufacturing, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, U.S.A. We have applied the novel method of hot filament-activated chemical vapour deposition (HFCVD) for low-temperature deposition of a variety of nitride thin films. In this paper the results from our recent work on aluminium, silicon and titanium nitride have been reviewed. In the HFCVD method a hot tungsten filament (1500-1850°C) was utilised to decompose ammonia in order to deposit nitride films at low substrate temperatures and high rates. The substrate temperatures ranged from 245 to 600°C. The film properties were characterised by a number of analytical and optical methods. The effect of various deposition conditions on film properties was studied. All the films obtained were of high chemical purity and had very low cr no detectable tungsten contamination from the filament metal. KEYWORDS hot filament chemical vapour deposition; CVD; high-rate deposition; ammonia: silicon nitride: aluminium nitride: titanium nitride INTRODUCTION design and operating regimes, films with varied properties can be deposited with little or no COP- tamination from reactions at the reactor walls as is Hot filament-activated chemical vapour deposition found in other techniques such as plasma-assisted (HFCVD) is a simple and a relatively inexpensive chemical vapour deposition. method that has been used to deposit a variety of HFCVD has been extensively used for over a materials.

Instead of a dimeric structure, which is very common for Edited by A. J. Lough, University of Toronto, these types of compounds, a monomeric molecular structure is observed. The Canada C—Al—C angles in the molecule are very different from the C—Al—C angles found in dimeric molecular structures, leading to a different symmetry around Keywords: crystal structure; aluminium; tri- III methylaluminium; thf; adduct; monomer; angle. the Al atom. The reasons for these differences are discussed. CCDC reference: 1588683 Supporting information: this article has 1. Chemical context supporting information at journals.iucr.org/e Similar to diborane, trimethylaluminium is present as a dimer at room temperature. Analogously, two monomers are connected by two three-center–two-electron bonds bridging both molecules. The monomer of trimethylaluminium can be observed at high temperatures and low pressure with a trigonal-planar symmetry in the gas phase (Almenningen et al., 1971). The most important use of trimethylaluminium is in the production of methylaluminoxane, which is used to acti- vate the Ziegler–Natta catalysts for olefin polymerization (Andresen et al., 1976). Another known and important application is in the synthesis of Tebbe’s reagent, which is used for methylenation reactions in organic synthesis (Herrmann, 1982).

Spagnola,b Bo Gong,a Sara A. Arvidson,a Jesse S. Jur,a Saad A. Khana and Gregory N. Parsons*ab Received 9th February 2010, Accepted 29th March 2010 First published as an Advance Article on the web 19th April 2010 DOI: 10.1039/c0jm00355g Fundamental reaction processes between vapor-phase chemical precursors and high molecular weight polymers are important for polymer coating, encapsulation and surface modification. Using trimethylaluminium and water in an atomic layer deposition (ALD) exposure sequence, reactions between vapor-phase trimethylaluminium and common polymers with different substituents are quantified using in situ infrared transmission analysis. Exposing polypropylene to trimethylaluminium results in reactant uptake with minimal precursor/polymer reaction, but the precursor/water ALD sequence leads to subsurface alumina nucleation. A similar treatment to polyvinyl alcohol and polyamide-6 results in rapid precursor diffusion and significant reaction observed by IR, and the extent of reaction is consistent with results from in situ quartz crystal microgravimetry and transmission electron microscopy. Reacting trimethylaluminium with polyamide-6 leads to methyl group insertion into the amide carbonyl group and interaction with the hydrogen-bonded amine units. Multiple ALD reaction cycles produce film coatings on all polymers studied, but the coating structure depends strongly on the starting polymer composition. For the weakly interacting polypropylene, cross- sectional transmission electron microscopy demonstrates enhanced sub-surface growth at 90 Cas compared to that at 60 C, while images of coated polyamide-6 fibers showed that growth is not strongly temperature dependent in that range.
