Metal vanadates and chalcogenides have been prepared in rapid time scales using a domestic microwave oven. The products exhibit high phase purity and homogeneity. The thermal and spectroscopic properties of the microwave prepared metal vanadates match well with those prepared by conventional methods. The most important advantages in microwave assisted synthesis appear to be the very short time scales required for the preparation and the selectivity in energy transfer from microwave field.
