Coordination Chemistry of Polyoxovanadates as Inorganic Ligands

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...

All-boron aromatic clusters as potential new inorganic ligands and building blocks in chemistry

Small boron clusters as individual species in the gas phase are reviewed. While the family of known boron compounds is rich and diverse, a large body of hitherto unknown chemistry of boron has been recently identified. Free boron clusters have been recently characterized using photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations, which have established the planar or quasi-planar shapes of smal...

VIII-B Coordination Chemistry of Sterically Hindered Ligands and Multidentate Ligands, and Activation of Small Molecules

Thiolate complexes continue to attract considerable attention due to their unique chemical properties and structural diversity. Since thiolate groups meet the electronic and steric requirements necessary to stabilize a wide variety of metal complexes, they have been used as auxiliary ligands. On the other hand, thiolate complexes are known to undergo chemistry at the sulfur center, including ox...
