Abstract
Recently a new method for the synthesis of metal oxides has been reported, using ionic liquids as an effective metal cation solvent and chelating agent. Here we discuss the mechanism of action of this technique and demonstrate its efficacy as a means to synthesise phase-pure strontium niobates of controlled stoichiometry.
