Abstract
The discovery of new compounds and structures in the solid state has continued to flourish during 2002. One particular highlight involves the use of CaH2 as a high temperature reducing agent for ternary transition metal oxides to prepare LaSr- CoO3H0.7 that adopts an unprecedented structure containing oxide chains that are bridged by hydride anions to form a 2-dimensional extended network. Another highlight, found within the area of microporous materials, includes the synthesis of the new zeolite ITQ-21 (Si0.66Ge0.34O2) that has a 3-dimensional pore network containing 11.8 Å wide cavities, each of which is accessible through six 7.4 Å diameter circular 12-ring windows. As in last years report, and those by previous reviewers, this review will provide an overview of the most significant developments reported over the last year and focus on new compounds, mainly with novel structure types, containing extended inorganic lattices.
