Combining Solid-state and Solution-based Techniques: Synthesis and Reactivity of Chalcogenidoplumbates(II or IV)

Crystalline chalcogenido metalates – synthetic approaches for materials synthesis and transformation

The formation and transformation of crystalline chalcogenido metalates in ionic liquids as solvents is discussed as a new synthetic approach for the generation of novel materials. A comparison to conventional solvothermal reactions, classical high-temperature syntheses and chemical solution based approaches in common is discussed.
