Description

In the formation of these ordered double perovskite hydroxides, the rate of hydrolysis is held constant in the limit of kinetic control. Instead, the propensities of different cations to undergo controlled hydrolysis are probed by their ability to form ordered crystals. Collectively, these studies demonstrate how systematic variation in the kinetic conditions of materials preparation and the character of each solute control the structure and properties of materials, with a precision not attainable through traditional or near-equilibrium approaches.
