Combining tools from solution chemistry, solid state chemistry, and nanoscience allowed us to elucidate the
reaction pathway that is necessary to form a ternary intermetallic compound, AuCuSn2, using simple “beaker
chemistry.” Extending this pathway to other systems could lead to a new library of complex multi-metal nanocrystals.

metal nanomaterials at the 231st ACS National Meeting in Atlanta, GA
Two new undergraduate laboratories were developed for the Advanced
Inorganic Laboratory course at Texas A&M: organometallic synthesis of metal sulfide quantum dots, and synthesis of multi-metal oxides using multiple solid-
state synthesis techniques
Trevor Ewers, an under-graduate student, performs an inorganic laboratory experiment using the glove box.
