Atomic and molecular size devices are the ultimate goal of those working on, for example,
nanoscale patterning and templating techniques. The various approaches to nanophase …

High-throughput combinatorial investigations are transforming materials discovery, phase
diagram development, and processing optimization. Thin-film deposition techniques are …

In recent years, many soft-chemical reactions of layered perovskites have been reported,
and they can be classified into sets of similar reactions. Simple ion-exchange and …

Solid-state compounds have historically been prepared through high-temperature solid-
solid reactions. New mechanistic understanding of these reactions suggests possible routes …

While thermodynamically stable metal oxides and other solids could be prepared by
conventional high-temperature (ceramic) methods, syntheses of the more important meta …

The success of solid-state synthesis often hinges on the first intermediate phase that forms,
which determines the remaining driving force to produce the desired target material. Recent …

The control of solid state reaction pathways will enable the design and discovery of new
functional inorganic materials. A range of synthetic approaches have been used to shift solid …

A topochemical route to nondefect, three-dimensional perovskites from lamellar Dion−
Jacobson and Ruddlesden− Popper precursors was demonstrated. The method involves …

Solid-state diffusion is often the primary limitation in the synthesis of crystalline inorganic
materials and prevents the potential discovery and isolation of new materials that may not be …

The chemistry of early transition element clusters with π-donor ligands is growing rapidly.
We review the syntheses of these compounds, with an emphasis on progress in the last 6 …
