2020 journal article

Efficient NH3-based process to remove chlorine from electron beam deposited ruthenium produced from (η3-C3H5)Ru(CO)3Cl

Scientific Reports, 10(1).

By: M. Rohdenburg *, H. Boeckers *, C. Brewer* , L. McElwee-White * & P. Swiderek *

TL;DR: A postdeposition purification process in which NH3 is used as a reactant that enhances the removal of Cl from deposits formed by electron irradiation of thin condensed layers of (η3-C3H5)Ru(CO)3Cl and a reaction between NH3 and the Cl ligands that produces HCl is demonstrated.

Journal of Organic Chemistry, 81(24), 12091–12105.

By: J. Chem

TL;DR: Aromatic azide-derived 5,5'-bistriazoles possess rigid axially chiral structures with a broad distribution of dihedral angles, which may be explored as chiral ligands in enantioselective catalysis if decorated with proper functional groups. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 journal article

Photochemical CVD of Ru on functionalized self-assembled monolayers from organometallic precursors

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 146(5), 052816.

By: K. Johnson*, P. Rodriguez*, C. Brewer* , J. Brannaka*, Z. Shi *, J. Yang *, B. Salazar *, L. McElwee-White *, A. Walker *

TL;DR: Proof-of-concept studies of photochemical CVD to metallize organic thin films provide guidelines for the rational design of new precursors specifically for selective photochemicalCVD on organic substrates and suggest that selective deposition can be achieved onorganic thin films by judicious choice of precursor and functional groups present on the substrate.
