The present disclosure relates gold carbene naphthoquinone compounds and salts thereof. In some aspects, these compounds can be used to treat cancer including cancers which are resistant to one or more other chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin or platinum chemotherapeutic agents. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the gold carbene naphthoquinone compounds.

This disclosure relates to tertiary amine solutions of metal precursors used for chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition. The tertiary amine solutions have many advantages. They dissolve high concentrations of non-polar precursors without reacting with them. They do not supply impurities such as oxygen or halogens to the material being produced, nor do they etch or corrode them. Vaporization rates can be chosen so that the solute and solvent may be evaporated simultaneously, have high flash points, and low flammability. Small droplets may be formed easily which facilitate rapid evaporation without decomposition of he dissolved metal precursor to supply vapors for chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition processes.

A method for producing an amidinate metal complex represented by [R.sup.1—N—C(R.sup.3)—N—R.sup.2]nM including: a first step in which R.sup.3X is reacted with a metal Li in a solvent to obtain R.sup.3Li solution with LiX suspended therein; a second step in which the R.sup.3Li solution with LiX existing therein is reacted with R.sup.1—N═C═N—R.sup.2 to obtain a [R.sup.1—N—C(R.sup.3)—N—R.sup.2]Li solution with the LiX suspended therein; a third step in which the [R.sup.1—N—C(R.sup.3)—N—R.sup.2]Li solution with the LiX existing therein is reacted with MX to obtain an amidinate metal complex solution, represented by the [R.sup.1—N—C(R.sup.3)—N—R.sup.2]nM, with the LiX suspended therein; and a fourth step for removing the LiX in the solution obtained by the third step.

A pyrazole metal complex for absorption of carbon dioxide, a method for preparing the pyrazole metal complex, and a method for absorbing carbon dioxide are provided; wherein the product produced by reacting pyrazole metal complex and carbon dioxide may be transformed into several economically valuable compounds.

A series of thermally stable and highly luminescent cyclometalated tetradentate ligand-containing gold(III) compounds was designed and synthesized. The cyclometalated tetradentate ligand-containing gold(III) compounds can be used as light-emitting material for fabrication of light-emitting devices. The cyclometalated tetradentate ligand-containing gold(III) compounds can be deposited as a layer or a component of a layer using a solution-processing technique or a vacuum deposition process. The cyclometalated tetradentate ligand-containing gold(III) compounds are robust and can provide electroluminescence with high efficiency and brightness. More importantly, the vacuum-deposited OLEDs demonstrate long operational stabilities with half-lifetime of over 29,700 hours at 100 cd m.sup.−2.
