Approaches to chemical modification of surfaces of metal salt crystals, which until recently are not considered objects for surface modification, are collected and analyzed. Possibilities of postsynthetic modification and modification in situ during synthesis of metal salt nanoparticles are discussed. Data for structures of the surface complexes forming upon the interaction of modifiers (organic molecules) and ions on a particle surface and the stability and properties of such complexes are given. Areas of and prospects for practical application of different surface modified metal salts are shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
