When a correlation between
the chemical structure and a physical property of a material is postulated,
measurements on compounds exhibiting a range of structural variations
are required to establish its validity and, ultimately, to optimize performance
for an application. Yet the controlled modification of inorganic
structures remains, in many instances, an open challenge. Our research
is directed toward developing general strategies for the synthesis of
inorganic clusters and solids. Learn more about our projects by
