Patent ID: 8871304

Claim:
An (amide amino alkane) metal compound represented by the formula (1); wherein M represents a metal atom; R 1 represents a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R 2 and R 3 may be the same as, or different from each other, and each independently represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or R 2 and R 3 may form a substituted or unsubstituted 5- or 6-membered ring together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound; Z represents a linear or branched alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms (a part of which may optionally form a ring); and n represents a number of the ligands, which is equal to the valence of the metal (M), and represents an integer of from 1 to 3; with the proviso that the metal compounds in which M is Li (Lithium), Be (Beryllium), Ge (Germanium) or Nd (Neodymium) are excluded; the metal compounds in which M is Mg (Magnesium) and R 1 is methyl group are excluded; the metal compounds in which M is Zn (Zinc) and R 1 is methyl group are excluded; the metal compounds in which M is Bi (Bismuth) and R 1 is t-butyl group are excluded; and in cases where n is two or greater, two or more ligands may be the same as, or different from each other.
