The present communication is focused on the synthesis of the versatile heterobimetallic LaCo(ODiEt)5 (ODiEt = OC(CH2CH3)2CH2OCH 3) alkoxide compound and on its innovative and unprecedented use as single-source precursor in the preparation of LaCoO3 films by both sol-gel and Chemical Vapour Deposition techniques. Nanostructured LaCoO 3 films characterized by thermal stability of the perovskite structure up to 900 °C have been obtained thus evidencing the versatility of the adopted source compound. Morphological analysis revealed that high-quality smooth, well-adherent and crack-free layers have been prepared. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The present communication is focused on the synthesis of the versatile heterobimetallic LaCo(ODiEt)5 (ODiEt = OC(CH2CH3)2CH2OCH 3) alkoxide compound and on its innovative and unprecedented use as single-source precursor in the preparation of LaCoO3 films by both sol-gel and Chemical Vapour Deposition techniques. Nanostructured LaCoO 3 films characterized by thermal stability of the perovskite structure up to 900 °C have been obtained thus evidencing the versatility of the adopted source compound. Morphological analysis revealed that high-quality smooth, well-adherent and crack-free layers have been prepared. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
