Abstract
Abstract A novel gallium arsenide precursor has the formula R 2 GaAs(SiR') 2 wherein R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl substituted cycloaliphatic group and alkyl substituted aromatic group and R' is alkyl. Preferably, R is pentamethylclopentadienyl and R' is methyl. The precursor is reacted with an alcohol, preferably ethanol or t-butanol at a temperature ranging from -20° C. to 60° C., preferably at room temperature, under water free conditions to form solid gallium arsenide and by-products which are liquid under the reaction conditions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
38 words
Arsinogallane compound having the formula R 2 Ga-As(SiR' 3 ) 2 wherein R is selected from the group consisting of a cycloaliphatic group, an alkyl substituted cycloaliphatic group and an alkyl substituted aromatic group and R' is alkyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
38 words
Arsinogallane compound having the formula R 2 Ga-As(SiR' 3 ) 2 wherein R is selected from the group consisting of a cycloaliphatic group, an alkyl substituted cycloaliphatic group and an alkyl substituted aromatic group and R' is alkyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
Arsinogallane as recited in claim 1 wherein the alkyl substituent of R contains from 1 to 5 carbon atoms and R' contains from 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
Arsinogallane as recited in claim 2 wherein R is selected from the group consisting of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, mesityl and 1-nobornyl and R' is methyl.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
10 words
Arsinogallane as recited in claim 3 wherein R is pentamethylcyclopentadienyl.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
107 words
Process for preparing an arsinogallane compound having the formula R 2 Ga-As(SiR' 3 ) 2 wherein R is pentamethylcyclopentadienyl and R' is methyl, said process comprising reacting LiAs(SiMe 3 ) 2 where Me is methyl and (R 2 GaCl) 2 where R is pentamethylcyclopentadienyl in the absence of water in stoichiometric amounts at room temperature in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent to obtain substantial completeness of reaction to produce a solution where a reaction product is dissolved in said solvent and a by-product precipitate, separating the solution from the precipitate, removing solvent from the solution to obtain a solid, and recrystallizing said solid thereby to obtain said arsinogallane compound.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
107 words
Process for preparing an arsinogallane compound having the formula R 2 Ga-As(SiR' 3 ) 2 wherein R is pentamethylcyclopentadienyl and R' is methyl, said process comprising reacting LiAs(SiMe 3 ) 2 where Me is methyl and (R 2 GaCl) 2 where R is pentamethylcyclopentadienyl in the absence of water in stoichiometric amounts at room temperature in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent to obtain substantial completeness of reaction to produce a solution where a reaction product is dissolved in said solvent and a by-product precipitate, separating the solution from the precipitate, removing solvent from the solution to obtain a solid, and recrystallizing said solid thereby to obtain said arsinogallane compound.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
Process as recited in claim 5 where a single recrystallization is carried out, from pentane.
