We describe why the cyclic heteropolyanion [P8W48O184]40- (abbreviated as {P8W48}) is an ideal building block for the construction of intrinsically porous framework materials by classifying and analyzing >30 coordination polymers incorporating this polyoxometalate (POM) ligand. This analysis shows that the exocyclic coordination of first-row transition metals (TMs) to {P8W48} typically yields f...

HCV-induced hepatitis is one of the most debilitating diseases. The limited number of anti-HCV drugs and drug-resistance necessitate developing of new scaffolds with different mode of actions. HCV non-structural protein 5B (NS5B) is an attractive target for development of novel inhibitors of HCV replication. In this paper, new N'-arylidene-6-(benzyloxy)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbohydrazi...

Though numerous metal-organic frameworks or polymers have been reported, the organic building blocks are usually not redox-active. On the other hand, some mono-, di- or tri-nuclear compounds with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) have been prepared, although little is known about the coordination polymers combined with paramagnetic metals and organic TTF ligands. We report herein a series of coordinatio...

The report involves a review of the most important work on coordination chemistry carried out in the Soviet Union during this decade in the field of platinum metals, rare earth elements, actinides, as well as complex compounds of elements from various groups of the D. I. Mendeleev Periodic System. The results obtained on studying heteropolyacids and complexes with different new types of ligands...

A series of layered lanthanide coordination frameworks [Ln4(NIPH)6(H2O)4]?(4,49-bipy) [Ln = La (1), Pr (2)], [La(NIPH)2(H2O)2]?0.5(4,49-H2bipy) (3), Ln(NIPH)2(H2O)2]?0.5(4,49-H2bipy)?2H2O [Ln =Pr (4), Nd (5)], and [Ln(NIPH)2]?0.5(4,49-H2bipy) [Ln = Sm (6), Eu (7), Tb (8), Ho (9), Yb (10)] (NIPH = 5-nitroisophthalate and 4,49-bipy = 4,49-bipyridine) have been synthesized under hydrothermal condi...
