Gopalakrishnan I started my research career in 1969 at the Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, where I worked in the catalysis group headed by the late Professor M. V. C. Sastri. My responsibility was to investigate solid state chemistry aspects, synthesis and structure of oxide materials employed in heterogeneous catalysis research. The visit of Professor John B. Goodenough, then at MIT Lincoln Laboratories, U. S. A. to IIT Madras in the early seventies, with whom I had extended discussions after listening to his illuminating series of lectures on oxide materials, was a significant event in my career. I became convinced about the challenging opportunities that lie ahead for chemists in this field of chemistry, that later came to be known as Materials Chemistry. My association and friendship with Professor Goodenough continued throughout my career until today and he encouraged and helped me on several occasions in my pursuit of a career in solid state/materials chemistry of inorganic solids. Indeed, I regard and respect him as my professional ‘Guru’. Nonmolecular inorganic solids, mainly transition metal oxides, has been the focus of my research attention for over thirty years. Indeed my formal training in this area started during 1974-75 when I was working with the late Professor Bertold Reuter, at the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry, Technical University, Berlin, as a fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. A significant piece of work that I carried out with Dr. Colsman and Prof. Reuter during this period is the investigation of La2-xSrxNiO4 which resulted in a publication in the Journal of Solid State Chemistry 1977, 22, 145, where we have shown that hole doping in La2NiO4 is possible by substitution of Sr for La. More importantly, the investigation suggested that the holes doped are localized and ordered in the dz2 orbital of Ni (III) due to Jahn-Teller distortion for x < 0.5 and the holes are delocalized and possibly ordered in dx2-y2 for x > 0.5 compositions in the system La2-xSrxNiO4. These issues became great topics of interest in oxide chemistry after the discovery of high temperature superconductivity in 1986 in La2-xBaxCuO4 and similar cuprates. The results obtained by us 1974-75 stood the test of time and further vindicated by more recent investigations of the same system by powerful structural tools (cf. for example, J. E. Millburn et al JSSC 1999, 145, 401). I would consider that our 1974-75 work on La2-xSrxNiO4 carried out at Technical University, Berlin as one of my significant contributions and the training I received under Professor Reuter at Berlin laid a firm foundation for the pursuit of a career in inorganic solid state chemistry. Today we know that nonmolecular inorganic solids, especially transition metal oxides, (distinct from molecular inorganic compounds), constitute a major part of 5 inorganic materials chemistry. Many of the technologically important materials of current interest, such as LiCoO2 and LiFePO4 (electrodes for lithium battery), CrO2 and SrRuO3 (metallic ferromagnets), La1-xCaxMnO3 (charge ordering/colossal magnetoresistance), La2-xSrxCuO4 (high Tc superconductivity), ZrW2O8 (negative thermal expansion), KTiOPO4 and LiNbO3 (frequency doubling NLO material), (VO)2P2O7 (industrial catalyst for oxidation of butane to maleic anhydride) and last but not least, open framework materials exhibiting micro- and meso-porosity are all extended nonmolecular inorganic solids. Working with Professor C. N. R. Rao at the Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit, IISc., Bangalore since December 1977, we realized the importance of synthesis of nonmolecular inorganic solids. Recognizing the limitations of conventional ‘heat-and-beat’ methods, we sought to develop alternate synthetic strategies for the preparation of a wide variety of metal oxides. We employed a variety of inorganic solids such as carbonates, oxalates, nitrates, oxide hydrates and their solid solutions as ‘precursors’ and transformed them to the desired products in appropriate chemical reactions such as dehydration, decomposition, reduction/oxidation, atom insertion/extraction and so on. Details of these investigations have been summarized in the following publications: J. Gopalakrishnan, Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Chem. Sci.) 1984, 93, 421; C. N. R. Rao and J. Gopalakrishnan, Acc. Chem. Res., 1987, 20, 228. Special mention must be made of the synthesis of ReO3-like Mo1-xWxO3, anion-vacancy ordered perovskite oxides such as La2Ni2O5 and La2Co2O5 (brownmillerite), tungsten bronzes and intergrowth phases of layered perovskites, many of them for the first time. Powerful electron microscopic techniques, besides conventional powder XRD and other characterization methods, have enabled us to probe the crystal structures at the unit cell level, revealing the inherent beauty and elegance of the architecture of inorganic oxide materials. Some of these works are summarized in the following publications: C. N. R. Rao, J. Gopalakrishnan, and K. Vidyasagar, Indian J. Chem., 1984, 23A, 265. V. Bhat and J. Gopalakrishnan, JCS, Chem. Commun., 1986, 1644. L. Ganapathi, A. Ramanan, J. Gopalakrishnan and C. N. R. Rao, JCS Chem. Commun., 1986, 62. and K. Vidayasagar, A. Reller, J. Gopalakrishnan and C. N. R. Rao, JCS, Chem Commun., 1985, 7. Another milestone in my research effort is the recognition of the role of thermodynamics, metastability and the associated kinetic aspects, for the synthesis of extended inorganic solids. Working with Professor A. W. Sleight and his group at DuPont C R & D, U.S.A., on the synthesis of superconducting cuprates during 198789 has largely contributed to this understanding. This is particularly significant because many of the extended inorganic solids of importance to materials chemistry are all metastable materials. We developed a general, chemistry-based (chimie douce) approach for the synthesis of a wide variety of metastable inorganic solids. The strategy essentially involved prefabrication of thermodynamically stable phases by 6 high temperature synthesis and subsequent transformation of them into metastable phases by an appropriate soft-chemical reaction such as ion-exchange, oxidationreduction, insertion-extraction, intercalation, acid leaching, metathesis, reactions in molten salt and hydrothermal conditions. A distinction between topochemical and nontopochemical reactions is often helpful in choosing the right chimie-douce approach for the desired products. Typical examples of synthesis achieved by this approach include: layered perovskite oxides of Ruddlesden-Popper type (K2La2Ti3O10, H2La2Ti3O10), Dion-Jacobson type (CsLa2Ti2NbO10, HLa2Ti2NbO10), Aurivillius type (Bi2La2Ti3O12), rutile-related oxides such as HMWO6 (M = Nb, Ta) and their molybdenum analogs, V2(PO4)3 – a defect NASICON framework oxide, a variety of KTiOPO4 derivatives showing NLO response, and last but not least, synthesis of the metallic ferromagnet CrO2 at ambient pressure in a novel redox reaction between CrO3 and NH4I. An interesting outcome of this research is the ‘slicing’ of threedimensional (3D) perovskite and rutile structures into two-dimensional (2D) analogs: NaLaSrNb2CuO9 is a 3D perovskite, whereas CsLaSrNb2CuO9 is a 2D perovskite; similarly LiNbMoO6 is a 3D rutile oxide, while HNbMoO6 is a 2D rutile oxide. Collaboration with Professor M. Tournoux and Professor J. Rouxel, and their group at IMN Nantes, France has helped to focus my research efforts in the area of soft chemistry. My efforts on soft chemistry synthesis of oxide materials are described in the review article: J. Gopalakrishnan, Chem. Mater.,1995, 7, 1265. Our work on a large number of d0- metal oxides has led to the recognition of the special role played by the second order Jahn-Teller (SOJT) effect in the formation, structure and properties of d0 oxides in general. SOJT is concerned with structural changes arising from nondegenerate ground state interacting with low-lying excited states, as distinct from the first-order Jahn-Teller (FOJT) effect, which deals with structural distortions arising from degenerate electronic ground states. Typically, SOJT distortion becomes significant when the energy gap between the highest occupied (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied (LUMO) states is small, and there is a symmetry driven distortion which mixes HOMO and LUMO states of appropriate symmetry. This situation obtains in several d0 transition metal (M) oxides containing MO6 octahedra. We explored the consequences of SOJT-driven d0 oxides at some length and this has led, among others, to the synthesis of new inorganic oxides exhibiting novel structures and materials properties: Examples include HLaTiO4 and La2Ti2O, fresnoite type oxides (Ba1.5VOSi2O7) exhibiting NLO response and a series of entropy-stabilized defective perovskite oxides, LiSr1.650.35B1.3B'1.7O9 (B = Ti, Zr ; B' = Nb, Ta), exhibiting lithium ion conduction. These investigations are summarized in the Feature Article: J. Mater. Chem. 1997, 7, 2297. Our recent research efforts in the design and synthesis of metal oxides exhibiting a high mobility for lithium ions are presented in the Feature Article: Lithium ion mobility in metal oxides, J. Mater. Chem., 2003, 13, 433. 7 Present research effort in my group is directed towards rational design of extended inorganic solids for specific/target materials properties. For this purpose, design of not only the crystal structure but also of the electronic structure is important. Properties that are currently in focus are: metallic/insulating ferromagnetism, ‘frustration’ and magnetism, redox insertion/extraction of light elements, hydrogen/lithium coupled with ionic conduction, and pair-wise localization of conduction electrons in special inorganic materials with the possibility of superconductivity. We pursue a unit-by-unit assembly approach through appropriate metathesis to build novel inorganic architectures where the foregoing properties could be realized. An example of this approach to synthesis of new inorganic materials is described in our publication: T. Sivakumar et al, 2D-3D transformation of layered perovskites through metathesis: synthesis of new quadruple perovskites A2La2CuTi3O12 (A = Sr, Ca), Inorg. Chem., 2004, 43, 1857. Recent efforts in this direction have resulted in new ferromagnetic double perovskites (Pb2FeReO6, Sr4M3ReO12 (M = Co, Fe), new hydrogen storage material (BaMnO3H3), and a novel relaxor ferroelectric without lead (FeTiTaO6). In a collaborative research carried out with the support of Professor Martin Jansen, Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart, Germany, I have explored ruthenium(IV) pyrochlore oxides to reveal several novel electronic ground states: a metallic and Pauli paramagnetic state for BiPbRu2O6.5, that turns into a semiconducting ferromagnetic spin glass state for BiPbRuMnO6.5; a metallic state that likely shows a charge density wave (CDW) instability for Bi 1.50Zn0.50Ru2O6.75, that is suppressed by Mn substitution, and a metallic ferromagnetic spin glass state for the pyrochlore Pb2Ru1.75Mn0.25O6.15. The results indeed affirm the richness of the electronic properties of ruthenium-based metal oxides. 8 Research Publications of Prof. J. Gopalakrishnan 267. S. Natarajan and J.
