TL;DR: Metal-containing liquid crystals are the typical examples in which the uniqueproperties ofanisotropic fluids are combined with the specific properties of metals (e.g. geometry of coordination, optic, electronic, magnetic).

TL;DR: Water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion is a well-suitable confined reacting medium for the synthesis of structured functional nanoparticles of controlled size and shape and the morphology and properties of the different intermediates and final materials obtained through this route are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on new nano-compositesinvolving Mo6 atom nanosized cluster units for optical, nanobiotechnology, energy and environmental applications.

TL;DR: A review on the advances in the engineering of molecular assemblies and nanomaterials based on octahedral Re6 metal atom clusters can be found in this article, where the authors report advances in synthesis of [(Re6Yi8)Ya6] and [(Re 6Yi 8)La6] cluster units as well as on their use in the elaboration of supramolecular frameworks, nanoparticles, hybrid nanommaterials (co-polymers and liquid crystals).
