Supramolecular Coordination Chemistry and Functional Microporous Molecular Materials

Supramolecular coordination chemistry

Highlights include the formation of ultra-large macrocycles with over 200 non-hundred atoms within a given cycle. The realisation that single molecule magnetic behaviour is not limited to molecules with high spin states. The connection of S = 1/2 cluster rings using a fragment that can switch on magnetic exchange between the clusters is extremely interesting for the synthesis of QBITs and elect...

Molecular Materials and Devices: Developing New Functional Systems Based on the Coordination Chemistry Approach

Neste limiar da era nanotecnológica, o planejamento molecular dos materiais e os estudos de moléculas isoladas estão abrindo imensas possibilidades no emprego de sistemas moleculares em dispositivos eletrônicos e fotônicos, bem como em aplicações tecnológicas baseadas em propriedades de chaveamento ou reconhecimento molecular. Com esse escopo, os químicos inorgânicos em particular, podem aplica...

Microporous supramolecular coordination compounds as chemosensory photonic lattices.

Chemical sensing–whether for human health assessment, environmental quality monitoring, or myriad other purposes–generally entails: a) recognition and binding, adsorption, or other interaction with the molecule or ion to be sensed, and b) transduction of the recognition/binding event into an externally observable signal.[1] Coordination-based supramolecular chemistry, with its ability to genera...

Supramolecular Chirality in Dynamic Coordination Chemistry

Labile metal complexes have a useful coordination bond; which is weaker than a covalent C–C bond and is reversibly and dynamically formed and dissociated. Such labile metal complexes also can be used to construct chiral shapes and offer dynamic conversion of chiral molecular shapes in response to external stimuli. This review provides recent examples of chirality induction and describes the dyn...
