Claim 10:
11. A method of depositing a film, the method comprising:
exposing a substrate to a lanthanide-containing precursor to form a lanthanide species on the substrate, wherein the lanthanide-containing precursor comprises a metal coordination complex of Formula (II), Formula (III), or Formula (IV):, , wherein Ln is a lanthanide having an oxidation state of +3 and is selected from the group consisting of Y, Sc, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu, and R, R′ are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, branched C1-12 alkyl, unbranched C1-12 alkyl, substituted C1-12 aryl, unsubstituted C1-12 aryl, branched C1-6 alkenyl, unbranched C1-6 alkenyl, branched C1-6 alkynyl, unbranched C1-6 alkynyl, acyl, alkyamido, hydrazido, silyl, aldehyde, and keto groups; and
exposing the substrate to a reactant to react with the lanthanide species on the substrate to form a lanthanide film.
