Synthesis and structure of complex metal oxides produced by interaction of iron and nickel acetylacetonates with hydrolysis products of titanium and zirconium alcoholates

The interaction of nickel and iron acetylacetonates with hydrolysis products of titanium and zirconium alcoholates and their mixture has been studied. It was shown that chemical synthesis of organometallic gels followed by heat treatment makes it possible to form complex single-phase binary or ternary oxides. For the first time single-phase metal-containing titanate, zirconate, and titanate-zirconate oxides have been produced and their structure and magnetic and local electronic properties characterized.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 295–300, February, 1991.
