  • Publication number: 20250136630
    Abstract: Methods for purifying bis (arene) nickel complex products and related products are provided. A method comprises obtaining a crude mixture comprising a bis (arene) nickel complex and at least one impurity, dissolving the crude mixture in a recrystallization solvent so as to obtain a saturated solution of the crude mixture, recrystallizing the bis (arene) nickel complex, and removing the recrystallization solvent so as to obtain a purified bis (arene) nickel complex product.

  • Publication number: 20240092816
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of precursors, more specifically precursors containing at least one fluorinated group. In some embodiments, the precursors are hafnium, zirconium, and titanium bis(cyclopentadienyl) precursors containing fluorinated alkoxides and amides. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to using precursors for deposition of group 4 containing thin films, such as HfOx, ZrOx, and TiOx film applications. These thin films can be used in a variety of applications including semiconductor device structures. The compounds of the present disclosure have been developed and synthesized to generate compounds that provide improvements in film applications, such as HfOx, ZrOx, and TiOx film applications. The improvements to the compounds of the present disclosure include increased molecule stability at delivery temperature and deposition temperature, improvements related to precursor film impurity levels, molecule volatility, molecule melting point, and step coverage.

  • Patent number: 11911751
    Abstract: Disclosed are highly active cationic cobalt phosphine complexes, both mono- and bimetallic, that can catalyze hydroformylation reactions. The disclosed catalysts can be utilized in methods that provide reaction processes that are hundreds of times faster than high pressure HCo(CO)4 or phosphine-modified HCo(CO)3(PR3) catalysts and operate at considerably lower pressures and temperatures. Also disclosed are methods of hydroformylation using the described transition metal complexes. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

  • Patent number: 11902367
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for coordinating inter-region operations in provider networks. An inter-region coordinator (IRC) operates asynchronously to the control planes of regional networks to coordinate inter-region operations. The IRC in a region may include one or more IRC servers. To perform inter-region operations, the servers may implement a local-remote-local method in which a server invokes an API in the local region to get work, sends the work to a control plane of a remote region, receives a response from the remote region, and informs the control plane in the local region of the status of the work.

The method further includes generating, by a processing device, code indicating the determined one or more experiment variations and inserting the code into executable code corresponding to the requested content. The executable code is transmitted to the browser.
