Features: In this monograph, the author primarily introduces the synthesis and chemical reactions of metal atoms, clusters, and nanoparticles of different groups in the periodic table, with a separate chapter dedicated to carbon group nanoparticles. The formation of metal cores, clusters, and nanoparticles typically begins with atoms. To correctly understand this process, it is essential to understand the fundamental nature of atomic chemical properties. Therefore, certain specific reactions are discussed in this book. The methods for the synthesis, stabilization, and study of nanoparticles are only briefly outlined. Analysis is also conducted on component systems and hybrid and thin film materials with different chemical properties. The book also pays attention to the size effect in chemistry. Theoretical methods using semi-empirical and ab initio quantum chemistry to describe nanoparticle properties are briefly summarized, and a separate chapter is dedicated to low-temperature chemical research on metal atoms and nanoparticles. The book also dedicates a chapter to the various technological applications of nanoparticles and related materials, discussing the challenges and prospects of nanchemistry and nanotechnology development, as well as the applications of nanoparticles in biology and medicine. A significant portion of the content in this book is based on research published in the past 3-4 years. Certain chapters of this monograph are based on lecture notes, giving it textbook-like features and making it easy for readers to learn. For readers interested in this emerging interdisciplinary field, this book is very interesting. Similarly, it will also be helpful for scientists and teachers engaged in different directions of nanoscience research, as well as for students and postgraduates preparing to enter this novel and challenging field.
