Abstract

The article describes the principles of the Single Source Precursor approach to inorganic materials and introduces the Geometrical Molecular Structure Design Concept (MSDC) based on the choice of a proper molecular structure type for the desired precursor and completing it with ligands providing both the necessary number of donor atoms and the sterical protection of the chosen core. Application of MSDC is illustrated with examples taken from development of new approaches in the synthesis of oxide and sulfide catalysts and ferroelectric oxide materials.
