• -pot synthesis, which enables a reactive intercalation of nanoscale Fe particles in a CFx matrix, and the reaction of these components to an electrically conductive C–FeF2 compound. The pretreatment and the structure of the utilized CFx precursors play a crucial role in the synthesis and influence the

• Inorganic Chemistry, Engesserstrasse 15, D-76128 Karlsruhe, Germany 10.3762/bjnano.4.80 Abstract Systematical studies of the electrochemical performance of CFx-derived carbon–FeF2 nanocomposites for reversible lithium storage are presented. The conversion cathode materials were synthesized by a simple one

• zeolite nanoparticles are formed beforehand in a separate reaction vessel. Subsequently, these nanoparticles are added to a mesotemplate solution, hence the term “two-pot”. In a one-pot synthesis on the other hand, the micro- and mesotemplates, together with the silica (and heteroelement) source, are all

• cyclothiophene. By this “metal–template approach”, among other derivatives the series was extended to C8T as the smallest member and the overall yield was improved to around 10% [6][7]. More recently, by applying Pt(II)-oligothienyl complexes [27], a more direct general and highly effective “one-pot” synthesis
