Abstract

The formation of thin copper films by H-atom reaction with Cu(FOD)2 and Cu(HFA)2 has been demonstrated at near room temperature. Oxygen atoms have now also been reacted with these β-diketonate copper complexes, producing films of copper oxide which can be readily reduced by subsequent treatment with H-atoms. The thin copper films produced are conductive and highly adherent. The oxygen atom reaction with the copper complex produces a visible chemiluminescent glow, yielding information on the nature of the reaction process.
