The present invention relates to a ligand compound, a catalyst system for oligomerization of olefins including the ligand compound and the organic chromium compound, and a method for oligomerizing olefins using the same. The catalyst system for olefin oligomerization according to the present invention invention exhibits high selectivity to 1-hexene or 1-octene while having excellent catalytic activity, thereby enabling more efficient production of alpha-olefins.

Titanium-containing film forming compositions are disclosed as well as methods of synthesizing the same and methods of forming Titanium-containing films on substrates via vapor deposition processes using the Titanium-containing film forming compositions. The Titanium-containing film forming compositions comprise a precursor having the formula Ti(R.sub.5Cp).sub.2(L), wherein each R is independently H, an alkyl group, or R′.sub.3Si, with each R′ independently being H or an alkyl group; L is selected from the group consisting of formamidinates (N.sup.R,R′-fmd) or amidinates (N.sup.R,R′R″-amd).

The present invention relates to novel precursors in the form of metal complexes with 2-substituted 1,3-diketones and to a process for the preparation thereof. The invention furthermore relates to the use thereof for the production of thin metal-oxide layers. The latter are constituents in a very wide variety of electronic components and devices having various functions.
