(1983), 22, 1865-1870 Calderazzo et al SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides for the production of ultra fine transition metal complexes by the pyrolysis of the metal complex. Preferably, the heating of the metal complex is effected in a suitable inert solvent such as, for example, a hydrocarbon, alkyl alcohol, ether, diglyme, ester at an effective temperature for a sufficient period of time.
Examples of suitable metal complexes comprise carbonyl and trifluorophosphine groups wherein the metal has a valence of 0 or such as [Et 4 N][Ta(PF 3 6 [Et 4 N][Nb(PF 3 6 and [Et 4
N][V(PF
3 6 Accordingly, in one aspect, the invention provides a method of preparing ultra fine metal powder comprising pyrolizing a complex metal compound of said metal, wherein said o metal is in a valence state selected from 0 and 1, in an inert solvent at an effective temperature to produce said ultra fine powder, and removing said powder from said inert
O
0 solvent.
Preferably, said hydrocarbon is of the formula CnH 2 n+ 2 wherein n is selected from 12 to Preferably, said alkanol is of the formula CnH 2 n+ 1 OH wherein n is selected from 10 to We have found that the metal powder has a mean particle size of less than 10 microns, CN preferably 1 to 5 microns and more preferably, less than 1 micron.
O 10 The process of the invention is applicable to suitable metal complexes of the first, C second and third transition metal series of the Periodic Table of the Elements. Most preferred are the Group VB elements, namely, vanadium, niobium and tantalum.
In a further aspect, the invention provides ultra fine metal powders produced by the processes as hereinabove defined.
In a further aspect, the invention provides for the use of the ultra fine metal powders according to the invention, particularly the use wherein the metal is tantalum in cell phones.
The metal complexes of use in the practise of the invention may be made by the reduction of salts of the metals in solution in the presence of ligand reagents, such as carbon monoxide, trifluorophosphine and naphthalene.
A two-step reductive trifluorophosphination to produce [Et 4 N][Ta(PF 3 6 [Et 4 N][Nb(PF 3 6 [Et 4 N] [V(PF 3 6 has been described DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order that the invention may be better understood, preferred embodiments will now be described.
EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1 Cobalt carbonyl, Co 2
(CO)
8 (10g) was dissolved in warm toluene (20 mL) and the solution was slowly added to paraffin oil at 250 The red solution immediately darkened and become black. Carbon monoxide gas and toluene vapours were evolved and removed.
2 After the cobalt carbonyl had decomposed, the paraffin oil was cooled, filtered and the residue washed with hexane and dried to provide sub-micron cobalt powder (3.4 g, 99
O
EXAMPLE 2 Manganese carbonyl, Mn(CO) 6 (5 g) was dissolved in warm acetone (10 mL) and added to n-hexadecanol and heated to 250 OC. Carbon monoxide gas and acetone vapours were evolved. The solution became black and after the manganese carbonyl had decomposed C the n-hexadecane was cooled, filtered and the residue was washed with hexane and dried to provide sub-micron manganese powder (1.2 g, 99 EXAMPLE 3 HTa(PF 3 6 (5 g) was dispersed in paraffin oil and heated to 360 OC. Immediate decomposition of the Ta complex was observed with evolution of hydrogen and PF 3 After the complex was decomposed, the paraffin oil was cooled, filtered and the residue washed with n-hexane and dried. Sub-micron tantalum powder (1.25 g, 99 was obtained.
EXAMPLE 4 [Et 4 N] [Ta(PF 3 6 (100g), was dissolved in acetone (50mL), added to boiling ndecanol (100mL) and stirred for 20 minutes. The black solution was filtered, and the collected powder was washed with acetone and air dried to given sub-micron tantalum powder (22g).
Although this disclosure has described and illustrated certain preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not restricted to those particular embodiments. Rather, the invention includes all embodiments which are functional or mechanical equivalence of the specific embodiments and features that have been described and illustrated.
