Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry III, a ten-volume reference work, is intended to cover fundamental principles, recent discoveries, and significant applications of elements and their compounds. Authored by renowned experts in the field and edited by a world-class editorial board, each chapter provides a thorough and in-depth overview of the topic covered, featuring resources which will be useful to students, researchers, faculty as well as those in the industry.

Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry III focuses on main group chemistry, biological inorganic chemistry, solid state and materials chemistry, catalysis, and new developments in electrochemistry and photochemistry, as well as NMR and diffraction methods for studying inorganic compounds.

This volume has adopted the broad title of Inorganic Materials Chemistry, but as readers would note, the title could readily befit articles in other volumes as well. In order to distinguish contributions in this volume from those in other volumes, the editors have chosen to use as the organizing principle, the role of synthesis in developing materials, reflected by several of the contributions carrying the terms synthesis or preparation in the title. It should also be noted that the subset of inorganic materials that are the focus of this volume are what are generally referred to as functional materials, i.e., materials that carry out a function usually through the way they respond to an external stimulus such as light, or thermal gradients, or a magnetic field.
