Some pesticide chemicals are based on inorganic elements such as sulfur, copper (i.e. copper sulfate ‘Bordeaux mixture’, copper hydroxide, and copper oxychloride), and arsenic salts (i.e. lead arsenate, calcium arsenate, sodium arsenite), or they contain an inorganic element in their chemical structure such as the organometallic pesticides based on manganese dithiocarbamate (maneb), manganese a...

Nan-sized inorganic particles having characteristic morphology and narrow size-distribution have attracted attention due to their potential applications as functional materials, i.e., catalysts, magnetic materials, conducting inks, and ferrofluids. Various preparation and stabilization methods of nano-sized metal particles, metal oxide particles, and metal sulfide particles have been reported. ...

According to Ross (1), there are three main areas in which organotin compounds have product and process utility: (1) heat stabilizers; (2) catalytic agents; (3) biocidal compounds. Organotin derivatives account for the fourth largest production of organometallics amounting to about 3-4 million pounds per year as compared with about 485 million pounds per year for organolead compounds. Originall...

Chirality communications between inorganic and organic compounds bridge the gap different materials. The transfer is mainly realized by material hybridization andasymmetric synthesis, while recognition usually carried out in form of enantioselective adsorption organics on inorganics. can enlarge number chiral materials, which may lead to new applications many fields.
