Abstract
The ability to generate complex gallium alloys using metal amides, Ga(NR 2 ) 3 and M(NR 2 ) n , is easily accomplished by heating the two metal amides in predetermined ratios. The product can be isolated as Ga x M y where x and y can vary.
Claims (6)
1. A method to synthesize a gallium alloy, comprising:
mixing a gallium amide with a rare earth metal amide; and
heating the mixture to an elevated temperature in an inert environment to form an alloy comprising gallium and the rare earth metal.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gallium amide comprises gallium dimethylamide.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rare earth metal amide comprises scandium amide.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the scandium amide comprises scandium dimethylamide.
