The ability of ionic liquids to solvate inorganic salts completely has to date never been employed in the synthesis of complex inorganic materials.Here, we demonstrate that complex functional oxides, even those traditionally considered exaemely difficult to synthesize in bulk, such as quintemary superconductors, are produced with no impurity phases and on timescales that are much shorter than other synthetic techniques.Solvation by ionic liquids ensures that the synthesis proceeds via nanoparticulate intermediates, thereby ensuring homogeneity in the final product.
