A review of the chemistry occurring inside a nuclear power plant during a serious reactor accident is presented. This includes some aspects of the behavior of nuclear fuel, its cladding, cesium and iodine. This review concentrates on the chemistry of an accident in a water-cooled reactor loaded with uranium dioxide or mixed metal oxide fuel. Subjects: Chemistry; Environmental Chemistry; Inorgan...

Mechanochemistry is a powerful and environmentally friendly synthetic technique successfully employed in different fields of synthetic chemistry. Application spans from organic to inorganic chemistry including the synthesis of coordination compounds. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of compounds with numerous applications, from which we highlight herein their application in the pharm...

Inorganic Chemistry is pleased to present a Forum on Functional Inorganic Materials. A recent workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation highlighted these materials and their technological impact (Prog. Solid State Chem. 2008, 36, 1-133). As the report makes clear, we are presently at the halfway point of the solid-state century [The Solid State Century. Sci Am. 1997, 8 (1)], in whic...

The metal ion chemistry of macrocyclic ligands has now become a major subdivision of inorganic chemistry and is a growing area of research in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry. The field of macrocylic chemistry of metals is developing very fast because of its applications and importance in the area of coordination chemistry. Macrocyclic ligands and their transition metal complexes have recei...

Augmented Reality (AR) is a computer related research area that allows users to see views of the real world enhanced with text and virtual information. AR with 3D models can be used as an educational aid to help students gain spatial intuition. This intuition is very useful in many disciplines like, for example, Inorganic Chemistry. We present in this paper an AR system for teaching spatial rel...
