Summary

The preparation a nd characterisationo f a novel organoplatinum fluoride is described. The physical vapour deposition (PVD) of the material was performed in the temperature range 160–170°C, and electron beam bombardment or uv irradiation, results in the degradation of the compound to give high quality metal features down to dimensions of ca 60 nm.
