Abstract

The present application discloses a levelling compound for electrodepositing metals. The metal is of formula (II):

Claims (9)

1. A leveling composition for electrodeposition of metals, comprising an accelerator, a suppressor, and a compound of formula (II):

wherein R 1 is O, S or N;

R 2 is selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkoxyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkynyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkylhydroxyl, unsubstituted or substituted C 3-12 cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted C 6-12 aryl, unsubstituted or substituted 3-12 membered heterocyclic, and unsubstituted or substituted 5-12 membered heteroaryl;

R 3 , R 4 and R 5 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkoxyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkynyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkylhydroxyl, unsubstituted or substituted C 3-12 cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted C 6-12 aryl, unsubstituted or substituted 3-12 membered heterocyclic, and unsubstituted or substituted 5-12 membered heteroaryl; or R 3 and R 4 can combine with an atom or atoms to which they are attached to form unsubstituted or substituted C 3-12 cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted 3- to 12-membered heterocyclic, unsubstituted or substituted C 6-12 aryl, or unsubstituted or substituted 5- to 12-membered heteroaryl;

Y 1 , Y 2 , Y 3 , Y 4 , Y 5 , Y 6 , Y 7 and Y 8 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkoxyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl, unsubstituted or substituted alkynyl, unsubstituted or substituted C 3-12 cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted C 6-12 aryl, unsubstituted or substituted 3-12 membered heterocyclic, and unsubstituted or substituted 5-12 membered heteroaryl;

L is selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted C 6-12 aryl, and unsubstituted or substituted 3- to 12-membered heterocyclyl; and

X − is selected from the group consisting of acetate, formate, oxalate, cyanide, carbonate, bicarbonate, phosphate, sulfate, nitrate, F − , Cl − , Br − , and I − .

2. The leveling composition of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is O.

3. The leveling composition of claim 1 , wherein X − is Cl − or Br − .
