In earlier work, the effective utilization of Zn {N\Si(CH3)3]2}2 as a site-selective dopant for the production of p-type ZnSe by OMVPE was demonstrated. Several new zinc-bis(dialkylamides) of the general form (R)(R′)NZnN(R″)(R‴) now have been prepared. They have been characterized by 1H- and 13C-NMR, GC/MS and elemental analysis. Vapor pressures and gas phase decompositior profiles have been examined. Correlations of vapor pressure and structure are discussed for this series of compounds. A mechanism for the site-selectivity observed in the incorporation of nitrogen is proposed.
