New procedures for the synthesis of inorganic complexes have made it possible to prepare several new types of compound. Particularly noteworthy is the discovery by Shibata and his coworkers that the carbonato groups of [Co(C03)3]3 can be displaced stepwise, so that ligands of three different kinds can be introduced readily and compounds such as [Co(en)(pn)(N02)2]+ and [Co(NH3)2(H20)2(CN)2]+ can be prepared.6 The tris-carbonato complex can be obtained in optically active form. 

Silicic Adds. The behavior of silicate ions in solution, the dependence of various properties on pn, the nature of silica sols and gels, and the study of hydrated silicas constitute chapters in inorganic and colloid chemistry that go far beyond the scope of this review. Germane to the present subject, however, are certain observations on the formation of monosilicic acid and its stepwise polymerization.

The nanoadditives used for fabricating the PNs can be a vast number of inorganic nanomaterials that, in general, are classified into four categories according to their dimensionality as shown in... 

In this chapter, an overview of the fundamentals of PNs is described, according to the author s understanding and experience as well as support from numerous references and review articles. The content of this chapter covers all kinds of inorganic nanoadditives, but, because the most widely investigated and thus understood nanoadditives used to enhance the thermal and fire resistance of the polymers are clays (natural or synthetic) followed by the CNTs and colloidal particles, the focus of the chapter is primarily on clays, particularly on the silicate clays and LDHs, as well as the CNTs. This includes structure, properties, and surface treatment of the nanoadditives, design of the modifiers, synthesis, characterization of the structure/morphology, and thermal and fire... 

As an inorganic mineral, most unmodified nanoadditives are strongly hydrophilic and are generally compatible and miscible only with a few hydrophilic polymers, for instance, clay can only be made into PNs with polyethylene oxide),27 poly(vinyl alcohol),28 and a few other water soluble polymers. Most polymers are hydrophobic and thus they are neither compatible nor miscible with the unmodified nanoadditives, leading to an inability to achieve a PN with a good nanodispersion in most cases. Therefore, for most nanoadditives that have been used to prepare the PNs, an important and necessary feature is their surface treatment that provides compatibility to the nanoadditives and enables them to be uniformly dispersed (and/or separated into single nanoparticles) in the polymer matrix.

Starting with "inorganic aromatics", five-membered aromatic systems with Ti-electron sextet involving non-metal elements have been obtained experimentally and checked by X-ray crystallography and by quantum-computational methods as pentaatomic species Png pentaanions (with Pn = N, P, As, Sb and Bi) and Mg hexaanions (with M = Ge, Sn and Pb) (041C6490).
