title: Impact of crystal chemistry upon the physics of strongly correlated electrons in oxides.
abstract: Transition-metal oxides have been widely studied for understanding the physics of strongly electron-correlated systems. The crucial role of crystal chemistry for the discovery of three families: the high T(c)  superconducting cuprates, the colossal magnetoresistance manganates, the thermoelectric, and multiferroic cobaltates, is explored.
