  1. Synthesis of Complex Metal Oxides Hans-Conrad zur Loye, University of South Carolina Research Foundation DMR 0804209 This project focuses on the utilization of molten hydroxides in sealed silver tubes as a route for synthesizing high quality single crystals of complex early transition metal containing oxides. Our group works on achieving a fundamental understanding of the reactivity of lanthanides and early transition metals in our unique silver tube approach, which has resulted in the preparation of over 100 new compositions with a variety of new structure types and novel an enhanced properties, such as photoluminescence. Our recent advances include the single crystal growth of a new family of complex oxides: LnKNaMO5 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, M = Nb, Ta) that crystallize in a new structure type and that exhibit unusual room temperature photoluminescence, which has a potential application in solid state lighting. LaKNaTaO5 The crystal structure (left) of the LnKNaMO5 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, M = Nb, Ta) series. LaO8 cubes are shown in gray, Nb/TaO5 square pyramids are in yellow, Na+ atoms are shown in green, K+ are shown in blue and O2- as red spheres. An SEM image (right) of a typical crystal of the series. The unusually high symmetry environment of the rare earth is highlighted in the expanded view. (1) I. P. Roof, M. D. Smith, S.
