Abstract
Molecular engineering of ternary single-source precursors based on the [{PB u3}(2)Cu(SR')(2)In-(SR')(2)] architecture have afforded the first liquid CI S ternary single-source precursors (when R = Et, n-Pr), which are suitable for low-temperature deposition (< 350 degreesC). Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and modulated DSC confirm their liquid phase and reduced stability. X-ray diffraction studies, EDS, and SEM support the formation of the single -phase chalcopyrite CuInS2 at low temperatures.
