    The microwave-assisted solution combustion synthesis was applied to the initial synthesizing of Ca<inf>3</inf>Co<inf>2</inf>O<inf>6</inf> powder using glycine as a fuel and nitrate as an oxidant. The assynthesized powders were calcined at 700-1,000°C for 4h. Product characterization was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The fuel-to-oxidizer molar ratio was found to affect the combustion reaction and character of the powder obtained. The phase composition of powder after calcination at various temperatures has shown that the formation of Ca<inf>3</inf>Co<inf>2</inf>O<inf>6</inf> occurs directly. The calcined powder possesses a rhombohedral crystal structure with an X-ray diffraction pattern that could be matched with the Ca<inf>3</inf>Co<inf>2</inf>O<inf>6</inf>JCPDS: 89-0629. This method is a simple way of synthesizing fine Ca<inf>3</inf>Co<inf>2</inf>O<inf>6</inf> powder with a low calcination temperature. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
