The targeted functions of inorganic nanostructures often place strict requirements on their materials characteristics, which can include crystal structure, composition, and morphology, as well as connectivity in multi-component systems.  Synthetic capabilities must map onto these requirements and provide on-demand access to a growing number of highly sophisticated nanostructural features.  This talk will highlight two approaches for controlling key materials features of hybrid nanoparticle systems, which have interesting and useful catalytic, plasmonic, and magnetic properties.  First, a chemical transformation approach for incorporating arbitrary materials into hybrid nanoparticle constructs will be presented.  Second, strategies for accessing multiple distinct isomeric configurations in ternary hybrid nanoparticle systems will be discussed.  These approaches provide new capabilities for controllably and predictably accessing desired hybrid nanoparticle constructs with targeted functions.
