Films of lead (II) 2-ethylhexanote can be cast on silicon solutions by spin coating. Lead (II) 2-ethylhexanote is a common solvent in metal-organic deposition (MOD) process. Intermetallic PtPb nanoparticles have been synthesized by the chemical reduction of dimethyl(1,5-cyclooctadiene)platinum and lead(II)2-ethylhexanoate by sodium naphthalide in THF or diglyme. The precursors used for the photochemical production of PZT or PLZT films were lead(II) 2-ethylhexanoate, lanthanum(III) 2-ethylhexanoate, zirconyl(IV) 2-ethylhexa- noate, and titanium(IV) isopropoxide.
