  • Publication number: 20240083766
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing MoO2Cl2 under inert conditions, comprising the steps of: (i) charging a reaction vessel with MoO2, (ii) reacting the MoO2 with supplied Cl2 in the reaction vessel at a first temperature T1 to give gaseous MoO2Cl2, (iii) transferring the gaseous MoO2Cl2 into a receiving vessel, (iv) resublimating the gaseous MoO2Cl2 in the receiving vessel to give solid MoO2Cl2 at a second temperature T2 that is lower than T1, and (v) recovering solid MoO2Cl2 with a purity determined by ICP-OES/MS of 99.9996 wt. % or more. The invention also relates to high-purity MoO2Cl2, the use thereof, and electronic components.

  • Patent number: 10745421
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the cost-effective and environmentally friendly production of alkyl indium sesquichloride in high yield and with high selectivity and purity. The alkyl indium sesquichloride produced according to the invention is particularly suitable, also as a result of the high purity and yield, for the production, on demand, of indium-containing precursors in high yield and with high selectivity and purity. As a result of the high purity, the indium-containing precursors that can be produced are particularly suitable for metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) or metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The novel method according to the invention is characterised by the improved execution of the method, in particular a rapid process control. Owing to targeted and extensive use of raw materials that are cost-effective and have a low environmental impact, the method is also suitable for use on an industrial scale.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved process for inexpensive and environmentally benign preparation of trialkylgallium compounds of the general formula: R3Ga in high yield and selectivity, where R is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Trialkylgallium is prepared according to the invention via the intermediate stage alkylgallium dichloride (RGaCl2) or dialkylgallium chloride/alkylgallium dichloride mixture (R2GaCl/RGaCl2). The RGaCl2 obtained or the R2GaCl/RGaCl2 mixture also forms part of the subject-matter of the present invention. The novel process of the present invention is notable for improved process management. The process intentionally makes substantial use of inexpensive starting materials and reagents of low environmental impact and so is also useful for the industrial scale.
