• In this review, the relationships between structure, morphology, and surface reac-tivity of microcrystals of oxides and halides are assessed. The investigated systems we discuss include alkali halides, alkaline earth oxides, NiO, CoO, NiOMgO, CoOMgO solid solutions, ZnO, spinels, cuprous oxide, chromia, ferric oxide, alumina, lanthana, perovskites, anatase, rutile, and chromia/silica. A combination of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy with vibrational spectroscopy of adsorbed probes and of reaction intermediates and calorimetric methods was used to characterize the surface properties. A few examples of reactions catalyzed by oxides are also reported.
