E-mail:

The "benzyl alcohol route" was extended for the synthesis of various metal phosphate nanocrystals. The proposed one pot reaction leads to nanocrystalline titanium, zirconium, vanadium, yttrium and lanthanide phosphates at a yield above 90%. The synthesized particles are characterized by a high crystallinity and a small size distribution.
