Methods of forming single source precursors (SSPs) include forming intermediate products having the empirical formula ½{L2N(μ-X)2M′X2}2, and reacting MER with the intermediate products to form SSPs of the formula L2N(μ-ER)2M′(ER)2, wherein L is a Lewis base, M is a Group IA atom, N is a Group IB atom, M′ is a Group IIIB atom, each E is a Group VIB atom, each X is a Group VIIA atom or a nitrate group, and each R group is an alkyl, aryl, vinyl, (per)fluoro alkyl, (per)fluoro aryl, silane, or carbamato group. Methods of forming polymeric or copolymeric SSPs include reacting at least one of HE1R1E1H and MER with one or more substances having the empirical formula L2N(μ-ER)2M′(ER)2 or L2N(μ-X)2M′(X)2 to form a polymeric or copolymeric SSP. New SSPs and intermediate products are formed by such methods.
A method of forming a copolymeric single source precursor, comprising reacting a first single source precursor, a second single source precursor differing from the first single source precursor, and HE1R1E1H to form a copolymeric single source precursor having the empirical formula {[L2N1(ER)a(μ-E1R1E1)bM′1(ER)c(E1R1E1)d]m[L2N2(ER)e(μ-E1R1E1)fM′2(ER)g(E1R1E1)h]n}l, wherein L is a Lewis base, each N1 and N2 is individually selected from Group IB atoms, each M′1 and M′2 is individually selected from Group IIIA atoms, each E and E1 is individually selected from Group VIA atoms, a is any number from zero (0) to two (2), b is the difference between two (2) and a, c is any number from zero (0) to two (2), d is the difference between two (2) and c, e is any number from zero (0) to two (2), f is the difference between two (2) and e, g is any number from zero (0) to two (2), h is the difference between two (2) and g, m is any number, n is any number, l is any number, each R is individually selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, vinyl, (per)fluoro alkyl, (per)fluoro aryl, silane, and carbamato groups, and each R1 is individually selected from the group consisting of α, ω-E1 functionalized alkyl, aryl, vinyl, (per)fluoro alkyl, (per)fluoro aryl, silane, and carbamato groups.
