“…Technologically important multimetallic oxides were synthesized from single source precursors in which the control of stoichiometry and high homogeneity of the final products could easily be achieved [4,5]. The very first use of bimetallic alkoxide, magnesium bis-tetra-alkoxy aluminate, Mg[Al(OR) 4 ] 2 to fabricate the spinel MgAl 2 O 4 was described by Jones et al [6] in 1986. Although double alkoxides of bivalent transition metals with Al (III) represented by the general formula M[Al(OR) 4 ] 2 where (M = Fe, Co, Ni and Cu and R = Me, Et, Pr and Bu) were synthesized by Mehrotra and Singh [7] in 1979, its single crystal X-ray diffraction structure, thermal stability have been reported only very recently by Veith et al [8].…”
