1. A method of depositing a film comprising the steps of:
- providing a substrate in a vapor deposition reactor;
conveying as a precursor an organometallic compound of the formula (R1YCR2PR3)nM+mL1(m-n)L2p, wherein R1, R2 and R3 are independently chosen from H, (C1-C6)alkyl, (C2-C6)alkenyl, (C2-C6)alkynyl and aryl;
Y═
N or P;
M=a metal;
L1=an anionic ligand;
L2=a neutral ligand;
m=the valence of M;
n=1-6;
p=0-3; and
wherein m>
n in a gaseous form to the reactor; and
depositing a film comprising the metal on the substrate.
