Coordination Aspects in Modern Inorganic Chemistry

Coordination Aspects in Modern Inorganic Chemistry

Abstract: Main types of coordination compounds in modern inorganic chemistry are discussed. Principal synthesis techniques for metal complexes and the problem of competitive coordination of ambident hard-soft ligands are discussed. A considerable attention is paid to polyfunctional materials, obtained on the basis of coordination compounds, especially molecular magnetics, organic light-emitting...

Announcement: Eighteenth Conference on Coordination and Bio-Inorganic Chemistry

The conferences on coordination chemistry held regularly in Slovakia, have a long tradition. The First Conference of this kind was organized in 1964. The Conferences took place in Smolenice Castle that was adapted for the needs of the conferences and similar events and serves now as a Congress Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Many top coordination chemists from all over the world atten...

Inorganic and Bio-inorganic Chemistry

Polyhedra in (inorganic) chemistry.

A systematic description of polyhedra with varying degrees of regularity is illustrated with examples of chemical structures, mostly from different fields of Inorganic Chemistry. Also the geometrical relationships between different polyhedra are highlighted and their application to the analysis of complex structures is discussed.

Some aspects of the coordination and catalytic chemistry of ruthenium

Among the characteristic features of the coordination chemistry of ruthenium, which are manifested by complexes containing a considerable range of ligands, are the propensities for intraand intermolecular metallation of arenes and for the formation of polyhydride complexes. Some aspects of this coordination chemistry are discussed, including the roles of ruthenium polyhydride complexes in catal...
