Apart from the traditional organic and combinatorial/high-throughput synthesis protocols covered in this book, more recent applications of microwave chemistry include biochemical processes such as high-speed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) [2], rapid enzyme-mediated protein mapping [3], and general enzyme-mediated organic transformations (biocatalysis) [4], Furthermore, microwaves have been used in conjunction with electrochemical [5] and photochemical processes [6], and are also heavily employed in polymer chemistry [7] and material science applications [8], such as in the fabrication and modification of carbon nanotubes or nanowires [9]. 

Much of what is sold as nanotechnology is in fact a recasting of previous materials science, which is leading to a nanotech industry built solely on selling nanotubes, nanowires, and the like which will end up with a few suppliers selling low margin products in huge volumes .

Diazonium salts are another useful source of free radicals, and the formation of the reactive species can be achieved by reductive electrolysis or direct treatment with diazonium tetrafluoroborate salts [39]. By this route, several aryl derivatives could be introduced onto the nanotube sidewalls [40]. Aryl groups bearing halogen or alkyne functionalities are particularly interesting as they can be further reacted in Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions (Suzuki, Heck) or in click chemistry reactions to create products with great potential in materials science [41].

In addition to C onions, C atoms condense into various kinds of chemically bonded forms, and they are known to have excellent physical properties depending on the bonding nature. This means that research and applications not only in the materials science but also in other scientific fields are expected. At JAERI, the optimum growth conditions have been successfully obtained for the preparation of high-quality Cgo, diamondlike carbon, and nanocrystalline diamond by means of ion-beam-assisted deposition [80-82]. The susceptibility of Ni/Cgo thin films to thermal treatment, the formation of nanocrystalline diamond and nanotubes due to codeposition of Co and Ceo, and the surface modification of glassy... 

The first edition of this book published in 1986 was well received by the chemistry and materials science communities and this resulted in the paperback edition published in 1989. We are most gratified by this warm reception to the book which has been found useful by students and teachers as well as practising solid state chemists and materials scientists. Since we first wrote the book, there have been many new developments in the various aspects of solid state chemistry covering synthesis, structure elucidation, properties, phenomena and reactivity. The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates created a great sensation and gave a boost to the study of solid state chemistry. Many new types of materials such as the fullerenes and carbon nanotubes have been discovered. We have now revised the book taking into account the new developments so that it reflects the present status of the subject adequately and points to new directions.

Carbon-based nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted a great deal of attention in the fields of chemistry, physics, and materials science and have been extensively studied since their initial discovery in 1991.36 Much of the excitement in this area of research stems from their unique structures, fundamental electronic and physical properties, and potential applications.37 Inspired by these carbon nanotube studies, coordination chemists have undertaken significant efforts toward the construction of tube-like complexes through metal-ligand coordination.38 1 Examples of silver(I) tubular complexes obtained via assembly reactions of predesigned organic ligands with silver salts are described here.42-44...

Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (lijima, 1991), nanoscience and nanotechnology has been one of the most attractive issues in materials science. Nanomaterials are notable for their featured small size, which means that at least one dimension is in the range of 1-100 nm. This characteristic also endows nanomaterials with size- and shape-dependent physical and chemical properties because of the high surface/volume ratio and quantum effects.
