Transformation of Organometallics into Common and Exotic Materials: Design and Activation

The design, -synthesis, and selective pyrolytic conversion of organometallic precursdrs to materials of high purity or specific morphology (for electronic or optical applications), high strength and/or high-temperature stability (for structural or refractory applications) represents a potential area of extreme growth at the overlap of chemistry and materials science (materials chemistry). Research in this area is likely to have considerable impact at both the academic and societal levels be...
