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.

The present invention relates to new ionizing radiation-activatable derivatives, their preparation process and their therapeutic uses.
