Introducing topics such as novel layered superconductors,
inorganic-DNA delivery systems and the chemistry and physics of
inorganic nanotubes and nanosheets, this book discusses some of the
most exciting concepts in this developing field.

Professor Duncan Bruce graduated from the
University of Liverpool (UK), where he also gained his PhD. In 1984,
he took up a Temporary Lectureship in Inorganic Chemistry at the
University of Sheffield and was awarded a Royal Society Warren
Research Fellowship. He was then appointed Lecturer in Chemistry and
later Senior Lecturer and co-director of the Sheffield Centre for
Molecular Materials. In 1995, he was appointed Professor of Inorganic
Chemistry at the University of Exeter. Following the closure of
Exeter's chemistry department in 2005, Professor Bruce took up his
present position as Professor of Materials Chemistry in York. He is
currently Chair of the Royal Society of Chemistry Materials Chemistry
Forum. His current research interests include liquid crystals and
silicates. His work has been recognized by various awards including
the British Liquid Crystal Society's first Young Scientist prize and
the RSC's Sir Edward Frankland Fellowship and Corday-Morgan Medal and
Prize. He has held visiting positions in Australia, France, Japan and Italy.
Dr. Richard Walton, who was also formerly based in the
Department of Chemistry at the University of Exeter, now works in the
Department of Chemistry at the University of Warwick. His research
group works in the area of solid-state materials chemistry and has a
number of projects focusing upon the synthesis, structural
characterization and properties of inorganic materials.
Dermot O'Hare is Professor in the Chemistry Research Laboratory
at the University of Oxford.
His research group has a wide range
of research interests. They all involve synthetic chemistry ranging
from organometallic chemistry to the synthesis of new microporous
solids.
Duncan Bruce and Dermot O'Hare have edited several
editions of Inorganic Materials published by John Wiley &
Sons Ltd.
