Abstract: The oxyhalides Ba₂InO₃F, Ba₂InO₃Cl, and Ba₂InO₃Br were synthesized using the solid state method. It was found that the increasing of halide ion radius leads to the increase of lattice parameters and also caused to redistribution of indium-oxygen bond lengths. The possibility of water uptake was proved by thermogravimetry measurements. The presence of different forms of oxygen-hydrogen groups in the structure of hydrated oxyhalides was indicated by infrared spectroscopy.

Abstract: A brief update (2001 till the present) is presented on published records on nano- and microcomposites involving inorganic compounds as dispersed and matrix or support phase in powder or thin film/coating form. Properties and applications of the currently reported composite materials are also discussed. The status of this field of research is highlighted in a short analysis.
