Of bairns and bearded men: James VI and the Ruthven Raid
No full textThe Ruthven Raid was a 10-month coup d'etat that comprised the seizure of James VI by a coalition of nobility at the end of August 1582 and his forcible captivity, first outside Perth and then in Stirling and Holyrood, until the end of May 1583. This chapter is the first ever detailed exploration of this major event in James' early reign, and looks at who the Raiders were, what triggered them to act, and how they governed Scotland. Using previously unpublished archival evidence from the royal household accounts and Treasurer's accounts, it argues that perhaps the most important motivation for the Raid was financial, as the main ringleader (William Ruthven, first earl of Gowrie) was liable for crown debts which had rapidly spiraled during the ascendancy of Esme Stuart, Duke of Lennox (September 1579-August 1582). Gowrie took a series of steps to systematically reduce the deficit and protect himself from pursuit of debt before reliniquishing control over the young king, a fact which further challenges the idea that the raid was simply about removing Lennox from the king's inner circle as a potential pro-French and pro-Catholic influence. More significantly, the chapter argues that although James was only 16 when the raid occurred, he negotiated his way to freedom using the arrival of French ambassadors to court in early 1583 as a form of political leverage against the Raiders and their supporters in Elizabeth I's government. The major conclusion of the piece is that James had far more political agency and ability in the earliest years of his reign than we have previously assumed, and invites a further re-assessment of his 'long apprenticeship' between 1578 and 1585 as he gradually took full control of Scottish political life

Vanadium selenoether and selenolate complexes, potential single-source precursors for CVD of VSe2 thin films
No full textReactions of VCl4 with one mol equiv. of L–L (L–L = MeSe(CH2)2SeMe, MeSe(CH2)3SeMe, nBuSe(CH2)2SenBu) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 solution at room temperature give [VCl4(L–L)] as very moisture-sensitive dark purple solids. Using VCl4 and excess selenoether in gently refluxing CH2Cl2 leads to reduction to [VCl3(L–L)] (L–L as above and o-C6H4(CH2SeMe)2), while VCl4 reacts with excess SeMe2 at room temperature to give [VCl3(SeMe2)2]. All new complexes were characterised by microanalysis, IR and UV/visible spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. Reaction of [(Cp)2VCl2] with two mol equiv. of LiSetBu in anhydrous thf gives the VIV selenolate complex [(Cp)2V(SetBu)2] as a very moisture-sensitive brown solid. The new complexes have been investigated as possible reagents for deposition of vanadium selenide. While low pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) experiments showed that the diselenoether complexes were not sufficiently volatile for VSe2 deposition, [VCl3(SeMe2)2] gives very thin deposits of VSe2. LPCVD studies on [(Cp)2V(SetBu)2] at 600 °C produce thicker black films of VSe2. In all cases EDX measurements show that the films are Se deficient
Thio- and seleno-ether complexes with Group 4 tetrahalides and tin tetrachloride: preparation and use in CVD for metal chalcogenide films
No full textReaction of TiCl4 or ZrI4 with the soft, neutral o-C6H4(CH2EMe)2 (E = S or Se) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (or toluene) yields the distorted octahedral chelate complexes [MX4{o-C6H4(CH2EMe)2}]. Using Et2Se gives [MX4(Et2Se)2] (M = Zr, X = Cl or I; M = Hf, X = I). The Sn(IV) analogues, [SnCl4{o-C6H4(CH2EMe)2}] and [SnCl4(Et2Se)2] were obtained similarly. These complexes have been characterised spectroscopically and analytically, and crystal structures of trans-[SnCl4(Et2Se)2] and some selenonium salts derived as minor by-products from the parent Group 4 complexes are described. The neutral chalcogenoether complexes have been evaluated as single source precursors to ME2/ME thin films via LPCVD. [TiCl4{o-C6H4(CH2EMe)2}] leads to the deposition of air and moisture stable TiE2 films (with no residual Cl). Coverage of the substrate is uniform with platelet growth perpendicular to the surface. The heavier Zr(IV) species do not lead to significant ZrE2 deposition. On the other hand, LPCVD of [SnCl4{o-C6H4(CH2SMe)2}] leads to deposition of SnS2 at lower temperatures and SnS at higher temperatures, while [SnCl4{o-C6H4(CH2SeMe)2}] gives rather uneven coatings of SnSe2. The Et2Se derivative, [SnCl4(Et2Se)2] leads to uniform deposition of SnSe2 with growth perpendicular to the substrate surface. The SnE2/SnE films are stable indefinitely to air and moisture. The generation of TiS2, SnS2 and SnS in this way are very rare examples of metal sulfide deposition from C–S bond fission within a thioether complex
Evaluation of group 4 metal bis-cyclopentadienyl complexes with selenolate and tellurolate ligands for CVD of ME2Films (E = Se or Te)
No full textThe selenolate and tellurolate complexes [Cp2M(SeR)2] (M = Ti, Zr, or Hf; R = Me or But) and [Cp2M(TeBut)2] (M = Zr or Hf) have been prepared and characterized by 1H, 13C{1H}, 77Se{1H} and 125Te{1H} NMR spectroscopy and microanalysis. Crystal structures of representative examples are reported, together with the structure of the oxo-bridged species [{Cp2Zr(SeMe)}2(?-O)] formed by partial hydrolysis. Trends in the NMR parameters are discussed. These molecular [Cp2M(SeBut)2] complexes are shown to be suitable as precursors for the single source LPCVD of intensely colored MSe2 thin films for each of the Group 4 elements, confirmed by SEM/EDX and PXD. These are the first examples of single source CVD of ZrSe2 and HfSe2 thin films. The corresponding [Cp2M(TeBut)2] species (M = Zr or Hf) deposit elemental Te under similar LPCVD conditions
