Perovskites and related structures, ABX 3 , represent an amazing class of materials due to the huge variety of functional properties they may possess as a consequence of the great flexibility in selecting the A and B cations. Thus we can consider perovskites as a Saint Patrick's well of functionalities, where we can pick up the properties we want by tailoring the perovskite composition. Graziella Malandrino, Professor of inorganic chemistry at the Università degli Studi di Catania, has worked on perovskites since 1990, starting on TlBaCaCuO high Tc superconducting films, and is the guest editor of this Special Issue Section.
