CoFe(2)O(4) nanorings were synthesized by a simple solvothermal process, in which Ostwald ripening was definitely responsible for the formation of hollow structures, and their ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature was observed.

A homochiral three-dimensional zinc aspartate has been synthesised via reflux and solvothermal methods, which due to the coordinative flexibility of zinc displays three distinct coordination geometries and three coordination modes of aspartic acid to zinc.

Zinc oxide can be called a multifunctional material thanks to its unique physical and chemical properties. The first part of this paper presents the most important methods of preparation of ZnO divided into metallurgical and chemical methods. The mechanochemical process, controlled precipitation, sol-gel method, solvothermal and hydrothermal method, method using emulsion and microemulsion envir...

Anatase TiO(2) nanosheets-based hierarchical spheres with over 90% {001} facets synthesized via a diethylene glycol-solvothermal route were used as photoanodes of dye-sensitized solar cells, which generated an energy conversion efficiency of 7.51%.

The formation of discrete complexes [M(mcoe)2S2] (M = Cu, Ni; S = MeOH, H2O) vs. a nitroso-bridged ferromagnetically-coupled Cu(II) coordination polymer [Cu(mcoe)2] is influenced by the use of solvothermal reaction conditions.

The reactions of silver(I) cyanide with tetraalkylammonium salts in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) under solvothermal conditions and then diffused with ether lead to two novel mixed halogeno(cyano)argentates(I) with efficient luminescence.

Transition metal-exchanged polymer resin beads have been used as a heterogeneous controlled-release source of metal cations in high yielding, phase pure solvothermal syntheses of novel transition metal-organic frameworks.
