    Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 thin films have been deposited on MgO single crystal substrates by spin-coating a solution based on 2-ethylhexanoate precursors. Pyrolysis takes place between 200 degrees C and 450 degrees C and is accompanied by the release of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, CO2 and H2O vapour. Highly c-axis oriented Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 films were obtained after heat treatment at 840 degrees C in air. The highest T-c of 81 K was measured in a 10-layer film. Subsequent post-annealing in Ar and pure O-2 did not improve the superconducting properties of the films and resulted in the appearance of Bi2CaCuO5 or Bi-2(Sr, Ca)(2)CuO6 impurities.
