Coordination complexes of tetrathiafulvalene-based dithiolene linkers, such as tetrathiafulvalene-2,3,6,7-tetrathiolate (TTFtt), and their oxidation products are described. The coordination complexes can include metals such as tin or silicon. Also described are methods of using the coordination complexes in transmetallation reactions, e.g., to prepare sulfur coordination polymers, and sulfur coordination polymers doped with tetrathiafulvalene-based dithiolene linkers having different oxidation states.

The invention provides a two-dimensional chalcogenide, which is a crystalline material, and has a chemical formula of (NH.sub.4).sub.2[Sn.sub.3S.sub.7].Math.(C.sub.4H.sub.13N.sub.3).sub.1.41, cell parameters of a=b=13.2307(10) Å, c=19.335(2) Å, α=β=90°, and γ=120°, and space group of P6.sub.3/mmc. The invention further provides a method for preparing the two-dimensional chalcogenide and use thereof in the adsorption of iodine vapor. The two-dimensional chalcogenide of the present invention is capable of removing iodine vapor of various concentrations (as low as 400 ppm) over a wide range of temperatures (25° C.-75° C.), without desorption of iodine after standing for a long time.

Inhibited tin or titanate catalysts are used in condensation cures of silicone materials. Such catalysts are command cure systems with long open pot life, yet have relatively fast cure when the cure mechanism is triggered. This combines the advantages of the inhibited addition cure systems (command cure) with the advantages of the condensation cure systems (lower cost).

Patterning with UV and EUV light is described with organo tin sulfide (and selenide) clusters. The clusters are solids at room temperature and are soluble in organic solvents that are not too polar. Irradiation can either fragment a carbon metal bond or crosslink unsaturated organic moieties to stabilize the irradiated material. The irradiated material then resists dissolving in organic solvents so that the un-irradiated material can be contacted with an organic solvent to develop the latent image formed with the radiation. Radiation patternable layers can be formed through coating a solution or through vapor deposition. Corresponding precursor solutions, structures and methods are described.

Hydrocarbyl tin complexs of alkynyl phosphonic acid with antitumor activity and their preparation method are provided in present invention. Tests are conducted to evaluate activity, showing that the provided complexs have much stronger activity than cisplatin, especially for human colon cancer. The provided hydrocarbyl tin complexs can be potential candidate as a clinical antitumor drug.

The invention concerns a highly efficient molecular white-light emitter. The invention describes amorphous materials that emit a broadband spectrum of light upon irradiation with an infrared laser. Inorganic nanocrystals form the core of the material and are coated with organic ligands on the surface.

Provided are a semiconductor photoresist composition including an organotin compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and a solvent, and a method of forming patterns using the same. The method of forming patterns may include forming an etching-objective layer on a substrate, coating the semiconductor photoresist composition on the etching-objective layer to form a photoresist layer, patterning the photoresist layer to form a photoresist pattern, and etching the etching-objective layer using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask.

The invention relates to stabilized chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) polymer formulations, and the stabilizers used therein. The stabilization is achieved through the use of a sulfide containing organotin species in conjunction with co-stabilizers and organic extenders which provide increased thermal stability relative to traditional organotin stabilizers.
