Abstract

Chemistry plays an important role in the synthesis of nanostructures (see Chap. 3 and [10.1]). In the present section, the main features of supramolecular chemistry and of inorganic hollow clusters will be outlined with a subsequent discussion of chemical reactions on the nanoscale and catalysis. Furthermore, nanochemistry and nanoscience appear to be of importance for future renewable energy production, battery development, and environmental protection.
