Process for producing bismuth tertiary amyloxide

摘要

This invention provides a process for producing bismuth tertiary amyloxide which is a starting material for forming a ferroelectric film such as SrBi2Ta2O9 containing bismuth oxide, or an oxide superconductive film such as Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, by the CVD method or sol-gel method. This process comprises reacting bismuth bromide with sodium tertiary amyloxide or potassium tertiaryamyloxide in a toluene solvent containing 5 to 30 weight % tetrahydrofuran, then separating a byproduct sodium bromide or potassium bromide by filtration and recovering bismuth tertiary amyloxide by distillation under reduced pressure.
