We have recently discovered a novel class of metal carboxylates which are liquids at room temperature. These metal salts bear polyether organic residues and their physical properties make them highly conducive to the preparation of ceramic films and fibers. Furthermore, the liquid salts are excellent solvents for other metal salts such as nitrates. The resultant solutions are readily converted upon pyrolysis to multi-metallic oxide phases at fairly low temperatures due to the high homogeneity of the cation distribution in the liquid. The preparation of a variety of aluminum, titanium, and iron-containing ceramics in this manner will be reported.
