Entdecken Sie ein Wunder der Natur ¿ eigentlich altbekannt und doch immer noch voller Rätsel. Wissenschaftler aus den verschiedensten Fachbereichen führen Sie auf eine faszinierende Zeitreise durch die Wissenschaftsgeschichte. Am Beispiel des Naturwunders "Diamant" wird der Fortschritt der menschlichen Erkenntnis über die Jahrhunderte hinweg eindrucksvoll deutlich - von den legendenumwobenen Anfängen und nebulösen Vorstellungen bis hin zur modernen wissenschaftlichen Analytik.

In the ten years since the scientific rationale for the design, synthesis and application of inorganic and organometallic polymers (IOPs) was first conceptualised, we have witnessed the first tentative exploration of IOPs as precursors to new materials, with efforts focusing on the design and synthesis of novel ceramic precursors. Developing expertise led to precursor studies combined with the characterisation of the transformation processes that occur when IOPs are converted to ceramic materials. Now at maturity, the science presented in this volume reveals the polymer precursor approach to materials synthesis together with examples of processing ceramic shapes for a range of mechanical properties, the development of sophisticated, noninvasive analytical techniques, and IOP design rationales relying on well-defined processing-property relationships. The production of multifunctional IOPs is described, providing ion conductivity, gas sensing, bioactivity, magnetic properties, etc., combined with processability. The existence of well-defined IOPs and the exquisite control that can be exerted on sol-gel systems now provide access to such a variety of mixed organic-organometallic and/or inorganic hybrid systems that their exploitation is likely to develop into an entirely new field of materials chemistry. Future exciting avenues of research are also being opened up with the advent of buckyballs, Met-Cars, dopable preceramics, rigid-rod organometallics, and molecular tinkertoys.

"e;Polymineral-Metasomatic Crystallogenesis"e; is dedicated to the foundations of polymineral crystallogenesis in solutions typically occurring in nature. Effects, laws, and mechanisms of a metasomatic crystal replacement, joint crystal growth of different phases, mixed crystal formation, and aggregate re-crystallization as well as oriented overgrowth (epitaxy and quasi-epitaxy) and crystal habit origin are considered experimentally. The behaviour of these processes in nature are discussed in addition to pseudomorphs, poikilitic crystals (and other replacement forms), features of rapakivi structure, fluorite morphology, and many more. The concept is a generalization of the classic theory on crystallogenesis which is complicated by phase interaction in polymineral systems."e;Polymineral-Metasomatic Crystallogenesis"e; is designed for chemists, geologists, physicists, and postgraduates and advanced undergraduate students of these fields.

The work based on modulation of nano Schiff base ligand by using pharmacologically important compounds (indoline-2,3-dione) and aniline. Complextion of the prepared Schiff base and (1,10 phenanthroline or TMEDA) as mixed ligand with different transtion metal ions were carried out. This nano ligand and its nano binary and mixed metal complexes show two novel features; (1) an effective metal ion chelator and (2) it can play a pivot as antimicrobial and anticancer agent.

3-Mercaptopropionic acid capped core/shell ZnS:Cu(3%)/ZnS doped quantum dots (QDs) where synthesized at 95 °C in basic aqueous solution using the nucleation doping approach methods. The structural and optical properties of the QDs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) which confirms the cubic phase blende, whereas transmission electron microscopy (TEM) which shows the nanoparticles are spherical. UV¿vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The obtained nearly monodisperse QDs have an average diameter of ca. 3.31 nm and a zinc blende crystal structure. The PL emission wavelength was limited between 500 and 510 nm but PL quantum efficiency of ZnS:Cu/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals increased up to 5 %. The experimental results demonstrate that this method is effective for the preparation of ZnS:Cu/ZnS quantum dots.
