TL;DR: The field of hybrid inorganic-organic materials has experienced an explosive growth since the 1980s, with the expansion of soft inorganic chemistry based processes as discussed by the authors, and a high degree of control over both composition and nanostructure of these hybrids can be achieved allowing tunable structure-property relationships.

TL;DR: A high yield synthesis approach is reported that allows one to precisely control the aspect ratio of bipyramids and to elongate the structure until they adopt a javelin-like aspect and was able to prepare nano-javelins with surface plasmon resonances up to 1850 nm, opening important perspectives in terms of optical applications in the NIR and IR regions.

TL;DR: A method for preparing hierarchically structured Li4Ti5O12 yielding nano- and microstructure well-suited for use in lithium-ion batteries and shows no sign of capacity fading after 1,000 cycles at 50C rate.

TL;DR: Two tetranuclear manganese(II) complexes have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions in methanol with p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene (thiaS) and p- tert- butylsulfinylthiac alix(thiaSO) and the structure has been established from single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

TL;DR: The synthesis and photophysical properties of two lipophilic quadrupolar chromophores featuring anthracenyl or dibromobenzene combined significant two-photon absorption cross-sections with high fluorescence quantum yield for 1 and improved singlet oxygen generation efficiency for 2, in organic solvents.
