Typical Interatomic Distances in Organic Compounds and Organometallic Compounds and Coordination Complexes of the d- and f-block metals 

The structure does not contain unresolved numeric data errors from the original publication (such errors are usually typographical and are normally resolved by consultation with the authors). 

Only structures of high precision were included on the basis that either (a) the crystallographic R factor was 0.07 and the reported mean estimated standard deviation (e.s.d.) of the C - C bond lengths was 0.030 A (corresponds to AS flag = 1, 2 or 3 in CSD), or (b) the crystallographic R factor was 0.05 and the mean e.s.d. for C - C bonds was not available in the data base (AS = 0 in CSD). Where the structure of a given compound had been determined more than once within the limits of (i)-(v), then only the most precise determination was used. For Table A.l, additional restrictions were imposed such that structures with disorder were rejected, as were structures with reported mean e.s.d. of the C-C bond lengths 0.010 A. 

The structures used in Table A.2 do not include those precluded from CSD because they do not contain organic carbon. Thus, the entry for Cr-CO distances has a contribution from [NEt4][Cr2Cu-H)(CO),o] but not from K[Cr2(/r-H)(CO)io] or [Cr(CO)6]. 

The non-location of hydrogen atoms presents major difficulties both in the determination of coordination numbers for metal atoms, and for correct identification of ligands (e.g. for distinguishing methoxide from methanol). Ambiguous cases were excluded (e.g. M-OCH3 and M-0(H)CH3 both present in a structure in which hydrogen-atom positions were not reported).

Without doubt, the advent of carbon nanotubes has opened up iimovative perspectives for research and development of carbon electrodes. In this chapter, we have attempted to highlight the electrochemical properties of carbon nanotubes by rooting them mainly on their structural, electronic and chemical properties. If chirality of SWNTs could be controlled, it would be possible to probe electrochemically the unique electronic properties of the tubes with their corresponding unique DOS distribution and establish direct correlations between electronic structure and electrochemistry. However, so far, most of their electrochemical applications are based on ensembles of CNTs (MWNTs or SWNTs) in thin films supported on conductive surfaces or composites. Such ensembles, not so well defined from the structural point of view, contain a mixture of tubes with different diameters and DOS 

However, behind the promising electrochemical devices, there are stUl many fundamental issues that affect the electrochemical response and that are poorly controlled. Such issues can be found right from the first steps of CNT growth, purification, separation, and so on. For instance, there are many unsettled issues in the fundamental CNTgrowth mechanism, hence CNT growth with controlled length, diameter and chirality is still not possible. Other difficulties comprise the removal of metal impurities from the tubes, the lack of practical techniques for CNT separation according to their chiralities and hence electronic properties, the control of defects / 

Advances in such issues could further improve nanotube uniformity, decrease the dispersion in the results of different research groups, improve the device efficiency and also provide further insights into fundamental electrochemical questions.

Polymer/fullerene [Ceol nanocomposites can be considered environmentally friendly alternatives to some traditional flame retardants. The presence of Ceo can markedly delay thermal oxidative degradation and reduce the flammability of polypropylene at very low loadings. It can decrease the heat release rate of polymeric materials by trapping the free radicals created through thermal degradation and combustion, and subsequently forming three-dimensional gelled networks. This network can increase the melt viscosity and consequently slow down combustion. Furthermore, the incorporation of Qo does not affect the physical properties of the polymer. 

Flame retardant polymer nanocomposites withfullerenes as filler 

Obviously, polymer/Ceo nanocomposites offer novel strategies for developing flame retardant polymeric materials. However, they do not behave well in traditional fire retardation tests, such as LOI and the UL test. Thus, in the future, more work needs to be done on this problem and the synergistic effects of Ceo and other traditional fire retardants.

A further possible advantage of the use of dendrimers as sequestering reagents in comparison with more conventional complexing agents results from the inherently different design of dendrimers, whose internal and external functionaHties allow, as mentioned already, the creation of an inner binding microenvironment with defined coordination sites and a solvent-compatible, hydrophilic or hydro- 

It has been an aim of this chapter to indicate that dendrimers have very significant potential for application in separation technologies. Nevertheless, at present it is difficult to predict whether their use will be limited to specific applications or whether they will be introduced more widely. However, dendritic hyperbranched polymers possessing a polydisperse and irregular structure can be synthesized more easily via a one-step procedure and these appear to be an economical alternative to dendrimers [34] it may be noted that their use in particularly interesting applications, with significant benefits for the separation of azeotropic mixtures by extractive distillation or solvent extraction, are at present under consideration [35]. 

The authors are especially grateful to Prof. Len Lindoy, Sydney University, for stimulating discussions on the topic of this review and to Prof. Fritz Vogtle, University of Boim, for continuous fruitful cooperation within the field of dendrimer chemistry.

Metallic nanorods are highly interesting materials from many points of view as elements in future nanoscale electronic circuits as sensors as catalysts as optical elements in future nanoscale optical devices. Gold and silver nanorods have distinct visible absorption and scattering spectra that are tunable with aspect ratio. Many workers have developed wet synthetic routes to these nanomaterials, with control of aspect ratio a key improvement compared to the synthesis of simple nanospheres. Another key area for which improvements need to be made is the understanding of the atomic arrangements of the different faces of crystalline
