The lines of research in the field of inorganic chemistry that are closely related to the design of novel functional materials are analysed. Special attention is given to areas of inorganic materials chemistry that have been developed most intensely at the Division of Inorganic Chemistry of the Department of Chemistry and at the Department of Materials Science of the Moscow State University ove...

This chapter gives an overview on the chemistry of tetravalent lanthanide compounds, especially those of tetravalent cerium. Following a brief Introduction it covers the tetrahalides, dioxides and other lanthanides(IV) salts. Coordination compounds of cerium in the oxidation state +4 include halogeno complexes and complexes of oxo acids, β-diketonates and related Schiff-base complexes as well a...

We aim to understand and exploit the factors (strain, composition, band structure etc.) that determine structure and function in the crystalline solid state. Our interest is in the balance between local crystal chemistry, strain and longer range order in a wide range of compositionally and/or displacively flexible crystalline solids. The principal experimental research tools used are solid stat...
