Geometries of inorganic

The structure theory of inorganic chemistry may be said to have been bom only fifty years ago, when Werner, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 1913, found that the chemical composition and properties of complex inorganic substances could be explained by assuming that metal atoms often coordinate about themselves a number of atoms different from their valence, usually four atoms at the comers either of a tetrahedron or of a square coplanar with the central atom, or six atoms at the comers of an octahedron. His ideas about the geometry of inorganic complexes were completely verified twenty years later, through the application of the technique of x-ray diffraction.

Printable elements, especially those prepared by top-down methods, are often prepared such that they are attached to the mother substrate by tethers and anchoring structures that keep the otherwise freestanding elements in place. To separate elements from the mother substrate in the retrieval step, stamps must successfully break these tethers, which are typically composed of the same inorganic material as the elements. This process often requires careful design of the elements and tethers such that the elements separate by well-controlled and reliable fracture. Simple fracture theory63 points to several important factors that lead to easy fracture, notably the presence of cracks in the inorganic material and the geometry of those cracks.

The separation efficiency (e.g. permselectivity and permeability) of inorganic membranes depends, to a large extent, on the microstructural features of the membrane/support composites such as pore size and its distribution, pore shape, porosity and tortuosity. The microstructures (as a result of the various preparation methods and the processing conditions discussed in Chapter 2) and the membrane/support geometry will be described in some detail, particularly for commercial inorganic membranes. Other material-related membrane properties will be taken into consideration for specific separation applications. For example, the issues of chemical resistance and surface interaction of the membrane material and the physical nature of the module packing materials in relation to the membranes will be addressed. 

The variational 2-RDM method has been applied to a variety of atoms and molecules at both equilibrium and stretched geometries. We will summarize calculations on a variety of molecules (i) the nitrogen molecule [31], (ii) carbon monoxide with and without an electric field [37], (iii) a set of inorganic molecules [34], (iv) the hydroxide radical [35], and (v) a hydrogen chain [28].
