The reaction of a stoichiometric mixture of aluminum isopropoxide and yttrium acetate in 1,4‐butanediol at 300°C yielded crystalline yttrium aluminum garnet having an approximate particle size of 30 nm. No other phases were detected. The use of ethylene glycol in place of 1,4‐butanediol afforded an amorphous product.
