Ionic amorphous solids exist in nature.
Multiple studies demonstrate that ionic amorphous solids, such as ionically crosslinked amorphous solid dispersions and superionic glasses, can be successfully synthesized and maintained in metastable states.
The claim is specific and empirical. Several retrieved papers discuss materials with ionic bonding characteristics that exist in amorphous states (such as amorphous solid dispersions formed via ionic crosslinking, superionic glasses, and materials with reversible crystalline-amorphous phase transitions featuring ionic conduction). Therefore, the claim is supported by the literature.
