Heterometallic oxides are used as materials in many applications, e.g. from ferroelectrics to superconductors. Making these compounds usually requires high temperatures and long reaction times. Molecular precursors may contribute to render their processing shorter and accessible at lower temperatures, thus cheaper in energy and time. In this review article, different approaches toward oxide materials will be shown, starting with homometallic clusters and coordination polymers and highlighting recent results with heterometallic single source precursors. On the way to the latter, we came across many exciting results which themselves allowed applications in different fields. This work will give an overview on how these fields were brought together for the current mixed metallic compounds as precursors for heterometallic oxides.
异金属氧化物在许多应用中被用作材料，例如从铁电体到超导体。制备这些化合物通常需要高温和较长的反应时间。分子前驱体可能有助于缩短其制备过程，并能在较低温度下实现，从而在能源和时间方面成本更低。在这篇综述文章中，将展示制备氧化物材料的不同方法，从同金属簇和配位聚合物开始，并重点介绍异金属单源前驱体的最新成果。在通往后者的过程中，我们遇到了许多令人兴奋的成果，这些成果本身就允许在不同领域得到应用。这项工作将概述如何将这些领域结合起来，用于当前作为异金属氧化物前驱体的混合金属化合物。
