摘要: Depending on their coordination in vivo, metal clusters operate as oxygen or electron transporters, structural determinants, signals for cellular communication. The basic chemistry behind these genetically controlled nanomaterials can be identified, once the coordinated metals have been isolated from natural environment, and applied towards synthesis of a wide range materials. A bioinspired, biomimetic, approach to materials would reduce generation excess waste high-temperature reaction environments currently used, enable further functionalization with specific control nanoparticle morphology. In this chapter, we will focus exclusively oxide crystals, presenting an overview current techniques used biomimetic syntheses nanomaterials.
