PART 3 MATERIAL SCIENCES

The DoM-cross-coupling strategies have been shown with selected examples from the bioactive molecules, natural product, and, in small part, material science literature with attempts to enlighten how detection of DMGs and Ar-Ar and Ar-Z-Ar bonds in both simple and complex aromatic or heteroaromatic frameworks may lead to advantageous retrosynthetic analyses compared to alternative, frequently, electrophilic-substitution-based tactics.

The dean told the head of the department that various senior metallurgists around America had warned that the new department might lose out in attracting students by not having metallurgy as part of its title. That issue was left open, but the department clearly did not allow itself to be intimidated and Materials Science became its unqualified name (although "and Engineering was soon afterwards added... 

I came back in 1959 to deliver a course of crystallography lectures at the CAB, and by that time the metal physics was well established. It has continued to flourish, and broaden many papers of note were published, and a succession of international materials symposia have been held there. The CAB director, Balseiro, died young, of cancer, and the latest of a succession of directors is Jose Abriata, an Argentinian materials scientist. Most observers, I believe, both in South America and beyond, would concur that the Bariloche centre is the most distinguished physics laboratory in South America. Materials science plays an important part there, and credit for that belongs to Jorge Sabato.

Advances in materials science have been a leading factor contributing to improvements in vehicle fuel economy and performance since the 1973 oil embargo. Better tire materials have reduced rolling resistance, better materials for moving parts have reduced friction, and most importantly lighter body parts have reduced the overall weight of vehicles. 

The aim of this volume is to convince the reader that metal carbene complexes have made their way from organometallic curiosities to valuable - and in part unique - reagents for application in synthesis and catalysis. But it is for sure that this development over 4 decades is not the end of the story there is both a need and considerable potential for functional organometallics such as metal carbon multiple bond species which further offer exciting perspectives in selective synthesis and catalysis as well as in reactions applied to natural products and complex molecules required for chemical architectures and material science.

For the public, we made a video documentary of materials science education in which the National Academy of Sciences collaborated with WQED. This program was broadcast on public television as part of the Infinite Voyage series. The video on materials science education, called Miracles by Design , is useful for showing to students who are not sure what this field is all about. It covers the spectrum physics, chemistry, metals, ceramics, and polymers. An article in Business Week called The New Alchemy covered this field in some detail for the business community-... 

At this time, the interdisciplinarity of the materials field is being emphasized as much as the topic itself. Materials chemistry will bring to the academic chemistry community an excellent opportunity to practice what they often preach (or agree with) regarding the importance of interdisciplinarity, as they incorporate more courses from the materials science and physics departments as part of their requirements.

From these definitions one may corroborate the intention of HTS in chemistry and materials science. The total speed-up factor of this part of the R D (Research and Development) process, as stated earlier, is between 5 and 50, but contrary to most of the pharma applications true (semi-) quantitative answers will result. As a result, this approach is essentially applicable in any segment of R D. On the other hand, this approach requires methods of experimentation that have almost the same if not the same accuracy as in the traditional one-experiment-at-the time approach. This is key as (i) in process optimisation accuracy is key and (ii) in research, also in academic research, accuracy is important as some polymer properties do not span a wide range of values (e.g., the elastic modulus of amorphous polymers) or may depend critically on molecular weight distribution or molecular order.
