Abstract

The literature is reviewed to summarize methodologies for synthesizing metal alkoxides applicable as organic precursors to high-purity, well-characterized ceramic powders. Typical examples of preparation techniques, patents, and commercial manufacturing methods are provided, and special precautions noted. Basically, metal alkoxide synthesis is determined by the electronegativity of the metal concerned; synthetic routes may lead directly from the metal or a metal halide, or may be indirect, involving alcoholysis.
