Abstract
Materials chemistry is a rapidly maturing area of chemical research,* and there is ever growing opportunities for chemists to make significant contributions to area of electronic materials. However, any research program should follow two criteria. First, the area to be tackled should involve a real (not perceived) problem in materials science. Finding new syntheses for commercially available materials, while intellectually of interest, has little practical purpose. Second, it is counter productive to investigate issues that are clearly engineering problems. Chemists are experts at molecular manipulation, and it is in this arena that unique solutions will be found. In this regard we have set out to create a chemical solution to a problem that has plagued the electronics industry for approximately 30 years: the lack of insulating gate transistor device for gallium arsenide.
