Metal hydroxyacetates have been shown to form 1D adducts that can <i>in situ </i>self-assemble into tunable 3D high-aspect ratio nanomaterials. This talk discusses the synthesis of p-block metal hydroxyacetate and their lanthanide homologues, illustrating the role valence shell in the structure of resulting compounds. Post synthesis ligand ablation in the latter renders the high-band gap materials colored while in the latter photochromism is lost due to enhanced absorption (band overlap).
