The purposes for proposing this book are two-fold; (1) to provide, in a single volume, a timely overview of contributions made by inorganic chemists (or those who pursue research from an inorganic chemistry perspective) to nanomaterials research, and, (2) to update and extend contributions made to inorganic nanomaterials research from that literature previously covered in EIC2. Inorganic chemists entering this field of research will find this volume to be a valuable starting point for their own creative thinking.  This book will provide an overview of inorganic chemistry contributions made to nanomaterials research during the period 2004-2006. Whether using single-source molecular precursors to prepare nanoscale materials of well-defined composition or using coordination chemistry to form nanoporous 3D framework materials, the application of inorganic chemistry concepts to problems associated with nanomaterials research leads to the design of novel materials or to nanomaterials having enhanced properties or chemical reactivity.
