Freshly prepared niobium hydroxide gel is mixed with magnesium hydroxide thoroughly and allowed to react at 100 degrees C under refluxing and stirring conditions for 6-12 h. The X-ray amorphous product so formed is heated at 550 degrees C to form crystalline MgTa2O6. This is the lowest temperature so far reported for the formation of MgTa2O6. For comparison, MT powders were also prepared by the traditional solid state method.
