Thin-film precursor (CVD/ALD/MOCVD)
As a volatile, thermally tractable lead source, Pb(TMHD)2 is widely used in chemical and atomic-layer deposition to grow lead-bearing oxide films. The bulky tetramethylheptanedionate ligands give the clean volatility and stability needed for vapour-phase delivery.
Ferroelectric and dielectric oxide films
It serves as the lead component in the deposition of complex oxides such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT) and lead titanate, which are studied for ferroelectric, piezoelectric and high-permittivity dielectric applications.
Sol-gel and metal-organic deposition (MOD)
The complex is soluble in common organic solvents, making it a convenient molecular precursor for sol-gel and MOD routes to lead oxide and mixed-metal oxide coatings and powders.
Catalysis and inorganic synthesis
As a well-defined, soluble lead source, it is used in catalysis research and in the preparation of other lead complexes and materials within the laboratory.
