Soft chemistry,or chimie douce,has represented an alternative approach usually adopted in the synthesis of new compounds.That approach has two advantages.In the first place,the use of low temperatures and low pressures does not require the use of special,usually expensive,set-ups.This,along with the experimental conditions,reduces the cost of the synthesis.On the other hand,it allows the obtention of compounds or phases which can not be obtained by the regular solid-state methods,due to their instability at elevated temperatures and/or pressures.
