Single-crystal barium titanate double alkoxide complex with a composition presumed to be BaTi(OCH(CH[sub 3])[sub 2])[sub 6][center dot]xC[sub 6]H[sub 6] was successfully synthesized in this work. The crystal was converted to BaTiO[sub 3] at 100 C. The preparation of the oxides via single crystals of metal alkoxides has some advantage over the well-known sol-gel method in that it results in oxides with well-defined and homogeneous compositions at the atomic level and in fine particle sizes, smaller than 50 nm.
