The new complex yttrium benzoylpivaloylmethanide and its acetonitrile adduct have been characterized by IR, NMR, mass spectroscopy, x-ray structure analysis and thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis. In-situ flux measurements and mass spectroscopic studies have been performed to test the suitability of this compound as a precursor for the deposition of complex oxide thin films under molecular beam conditions. Finally it has been used to deposit epitaxial Y(2)O(3) (001) thin films on SrTiO(3) (001) substrates.
