Abstract
Abstract A new synthetic method for the production of alkali metal niobates and tantalates is disclosed. The method involves the pyrolysis of a stoichiometric salt of an alkali metal and a niobium or tantalum complex of a bidentate or tridentate ligand. These salts are stable and, since the alkali metal and the niobioum or tantalum are already present in stoichiometric amounts, the resulting material comprises a substantially pure alkali metal niobate or tantalate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A method for making an alkali metal niobate or tantalate, said method comprising the steps of: a) forming a salt of an alkali metal and a monovalent niobium or tantalum containing complex, said complex comprising niobium or tantalum complexed with three bidentate ligands or two tridentate ligands; and b) pyrolyzing said salt so as to form said alkali metal niobate or tantalate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
62 words
A method for making an alkali metal niobate or tantalate, said method comprising the steps of: a) forming a salt of an alkali metal and a monovalent niobium or tantalum containing complex, said complex comprising niobium or tantalum complexed with three bidentate ligands or two tridentate ligands; and b) pyrolyzing said salt so as to form said alkali metal niobate or tantalate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
106 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said salt has the structure: ##STR6## wherein M is an alkali metal selected from the group consisting of lithium, potassium, and sodium; R1 through R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, alkoxy wherein the alkyl portion has from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, halogen such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, cyano and nitro or R1 and R4 can be hydrogen and R2 and R3, taken together, can represent a saturated or unsaturated substituted or unsubstituted carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring structure containing from about 6 to 13 carbon and heteroatoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said salt has the structure: ##STR7##
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said salt has the structure: ##STR8##
Claim 6
Independent Claim
72 words
A method of forming a layer of an alkali metal niobate or tantalate, said method comprising the steps of: a) coating a solution of a salt of an alkali metal and a monovalent niobium or tantalum containing complex on a support, said complex comprising niobium or tantalum complexed with three bidentate ligands or two tridentate ligands; and b) pyrolyzing said salt so as to form said alkali metal niobate or tantalate layer.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
72 words
A method of forming a layer of an alkali metal niobate or tantalate, said method comprising the steps of: a) coating a solution of a salt of an alkali metal and a monovalent niobium or tantalum containing complex on a support, said complex comprising niobium or tantalum complexed with three bidentate ligands or two tridentate ligands; and b) pyrolyzing said salt so as to form said alkali metal niobate or tantalate layer.
