Use of [V(OtBu)4] (1) produced thin films of monoclinic VO2 (M1) at 700 and 800 °C consisting of anisotropic nanostructures with high crystallinity and small hysteresis in the metal-to-semiconductor transition (MST). Film morphologies manifested strong dependence on growth temperatures and exhibited pronounced texturing effects at high temperatures (>700 °C). The microstructure of the films was found to significantly affect the MST behavior of VO2 films. DTA measurements of VO2 films showed MST at 63 °C (700 °C) and 65 °C (800 °C), much lower than the transition temperature observed in single crystal material (68 °C). Precursors were characterized in the solid state (XRD) and solution state (temperature dependent EPR, NMR) to reveal an association–dissociation equilibrium in solution (complexes 2 and 3), involving monomeric, dimeric, and oligomeric species. Use of 2 and 3 as single precursors produced thin films of crystalline V2O3 consisting of nanosheets (5 nm) with a flower-like morphology. date: 2017-07-13 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.7b01018 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1405240 doi: 10.1021/acs.chemmater.7b01018 lyricists_name: Schlaefer, Johannes lyricists_id: JSCHL78 actors_name: Dewerpe, Marie actors_id: MDDEW97 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Chemistry of Materials volume: 29 number: 14 pagerange: 5877-5885 issn: 1520-5002 citation: Graf, D; Schläfer, J; Garbe, S; Klein, A; Mathur, S; (2017) Interdependence of Structure, Morphology, and Phase Transitions in CVD Grown VO 2 and V 2 O 3 Nanostructures.
