The new complex yttrium benzoylpivaloylmethanide and its acetonitrile
adduct have been characterized by IR, NMR, mass spectroscopy, X-ray st
ructure analysis, and thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis.
In situ flux measurements and mass spectroscopic studies have been pe
rformed to test the suitability of this compound as a precursor for th
e deposition of complex oxide thin films under molecular beam conditio
ns. Finally it has been used to deposit epitaxial Y2O3 (001) thin film
s on SrTiO3 (001) substrates.
