Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to the process of producing semi-reflecting glass products comprising applying to at least a portion of one surface of said product a solution of at least one charge-transfer complex in a non-aqueous organic solvent therefor, said product having been heated prior to said application to a temperature sufficient to evaporate said solvent and cause pyrolysis of said charge-transfer complex, and said charge-transfer complex having the general formula MeX m Y n where Me is a transition element having metallic characteristics, X is at least one beta-diketone ester or alcohol radical having no more than 10 carbon atoms or at least one halogen radical, Y is at least one beta-diketone radical having no more than 10 carbon atoms and differing from X, and m and n equal the valence of Me.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
The process of producing semi-reflecting glass products by forming a metal oxide coating thereon comprising applying to at least a portion of one surface of said product a solution of at least one charge-transfer complex in a non-aqueous organic solvent therefor, said product having been heated prior to said application to a temperature sufficient to evaporate said solvent and cause pyrolysis of said charge-transfer complex, and said charge-transfer complex having the general formula MeX m Y n where Me is a polyvalent heavy metal or metalloid, X is at least one beta-diketone radical having no more than 10 carbon atoms, Y is at least one beta-diketone radical having no more than 10 carbon atoms and differing from X; or one of X or Y can be at least one halogen radical, and m and n equal the valence of Me.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
The process of producing semi-reflecting glass products by forming a metal oxide coating thereon comprising applying to at least a portion of one surface of said product a solution of at least one charge-transfer complex in a non-aqueous organic solvent therefor, said product having been heated prior to said application to a temperature sufficient to evaporate said solvent and cause pyrolysis of said charge-transfer complex, and said charge-transfer complex having the general formula MeX m Y n where Me is a polyvalent heavy metal or metalloid, X is at least one beta-diketone radical having no more than 10 carbon atoms, Y is at least one beta-diketone radical having no more than 10 carbon atoms and differing from X; or one of X or Y can be at least one halogen radical, and m and n equal the valence of Me.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words

Claim 12
Dependent Claim
136 words
The process of producing semi-reflecting glass products by forming thereon a coating of at least an oxide of a transition element, comprising applying to at least a portion of one surface of said product a solution of at least one charge transfer complex of said element in a non aqueous solvent therefor, said product having been heated prior to said application to a temperature sufficient to evaporate said solvent and cause pyrolysis of said charge transfer complex and said charge transfer complex having the general formula Me X m Y n , where Me is said transition element, X is a β-diketone, ester or alcohol radical having no more than 10 carbon atoms, Y is a β-diketone, ester or alcohol radical having no more than 10 carbon atoms and differing from X or a halogen radical.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
136 words
