Abstract
Static vapor pressure measurements of volatile metal precursors, in the pressure range 10-1 Pa to 103 Pa, are described. The vapor pressures and the sublimation or evaporation enthalpies, in the range 265 K-300 K, of Mo(CO)6 (77.7 kJ mol-1), two dimethyl(β-diketonato)gold(III) complexes, Me2Au(tfa) (83.5 kJ mol-1) and Me2(hfa) (68.1 kJ mol-1), and an inorganic Rh precursor, [(PF3)2RhCl]2 (90.8 kJ mol-1), were determined. The sublimation enthalpy for Mo(CO)6 was larger by more than 10% in the measured temperature range than reported values measured at higher temperatures. At ambient temperatures, partial decomposition was observed only for the gold precursors.
