Abstract

The synthesis of hydrolytically active heteroligand coordination compounds [M(C5H7O2)3–x(C5H11Oi)x] (where M = Al3+ and Y3+) using aluminum and yttrium acetylacetonates has been studied. The gel formation kinetics in their solutions upon hydrolysis and polycondensation has also been studied. Thin films of a solution of these precursors have been applied to polished sapphire substrates by dip coating. The crystallization of nanostructured yttrium aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12) films during heat treatment of xerogel coatings under various conditions has been studied. How the phase composition, microstructure, and particle size depend on the synthesis parameters has been recognized.
