Described herein are Group 4 metal-containing precursors, compositions comprising Group 4 metal-containing precursors, and deposition processes for fabricating conformal metal containing films on substrates. In one aspect, the Group 4 metal-containing precursors are represented by the following formula I: wherein M comprises a metal chosen from Ti, Zr, and Hf; R and R1 are each independently selected from an alkyl group comprising from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; R2 is an alkyl group comprising from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; R3 is chosen from hydrogen or an alkyl group comprising from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; R4 is an alkyl group comprising from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and wherein R2 and R4 are different alkyl groups. Also described herein are methods for making Group 4 metal-containing precursors and methods for depositing films using the Group 4 metal-containing precursors.
