“…Significant losses also occur as a result of use in space and military applications. Quantitative estimates of beryllium recycling rates are the focus of ongoing materials flow analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey, but recycling is excluded from figure 2 because of the wide range in previously reported values (Trueman and Sabey, 2014).…”

“…Alloys with low (<2 weight percent) beryllium content account for about 75 percent of global beryllium consumption, whereas pure (>99 weight percent) beryllium metal and composites with high (>60 weight percent) beryllium content account for 20 percent of consumption. Beryllium oxide ceramics account for the remaining 5 percent of consumption (Trueman and Sabey, 2014).…”

Beryllium is a lightweight metallic element used in a wide variety of specialty and industrial applications. As a function of its unique chemical and physical properties, such as a high stiffness-toweight ratio, resistance to temperature extremes, and high thermal conductivity, beryllium cannot be easily replaced by substitute materials in applications where combinations of these properties make it the material of choice. Because the number of beryllium producers is limited and the use of substitute materials in specific defense-related applications that are vital to national security is inadequate, several studies have categorized beryllium as a critical and strategic material (National Research Council, 2008, p. 170). This categorization has led to the United States Government recommending that beryllium be stockpiled for use in the event of a national emergency (U.S. Department of Defense, 2015, p. 3). As of December 31, 2015, the National Defense Stockpile inventory of hot-pressed beryllium metal powder, structured beryllium metal powder, and vacuum-cast beryllium metal totaled 78 metric tons (t).The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Mineral Resources Program supports research on the occurrence, quality, quantity, and availability of mineral resources vital to the economy and national security. The USGS, through its National Minerals Information Center (NMIC), collects, analyzes, and disseminates information on more than 90 nonfuel mineral commodities from more than 180 countries. This fact sheet provides information on the production, consumption, supply chain, geology, and resource availability of beryllium in a global context.

While the supramolecular chemistry of simple anions is ubiquitous, the targeting and exploitation of their metal‐containing relatives, the metalates, is less well understood. This mini review highlights the latest advances in this emergent area by discussing the supramolecular chemistry of metalates thematically, with a focus on the exploitation of metalates in a diversity of applications, including medical imaging and therapy, environmental remediation, molecular magnetism, catalysis, perovskite materials, and metal separations. The unifying features of these systems are identified with a view to allow the supramolecular chemist to target the unique material properties of the metalates, even in areas that are currently relatively immature.
