Abstract

Solid state chemistry research today is concerned with the effort to understand properties in terms of a particular composition and structure. However, there remains a need to distinguish between property studies carried out on ill-defined and well-defined materials. The procedure chosen for the preparation of a material should be given far more attention than it has received in the past. The quality of the starting materials, as well as the subtleties of the techniques used, will determine in large measure the quality of the final product. The complete control of preparative conditions is essential for an understanding of properties and their ability to be varied. In this discussion concerning the preparation of transition metal oxides, the writers will illustrate different aspects of problems encountered from their own research experience. It is hoped that these examples will demonstrate a number of different synthetic approaches as well as justify why a particular method was chosen. Unfortunately, much of what follows does not appear in textbooks, but the information is generally accepted among solid state chemists.
