Coordination compounds have been increasingly studied as a new class of promising candidates for the matrix ionic conducting materials because their designability and high crystallinity. The conduction light alkali metal ions (Li+ Na+) has developed in polymeric coordination systems, which are commonly used under nonaqueous conditions. Recent studies shown that discrete compounds, well hydrated...

Nitrogen constitutes one of the most crucial elements in synthetic compounds, both organic and coordination chemistry [...]

This article discusses the concept of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) equipped with more than one functional moiety, which allows using these NHCs for multiple purposes. A pioneering example for such NHCs is N-phosphine oxide-substituted imidazolylidenes (PoxIms), and their synthesis and strategic use are highlighted. The utility of PoxIms by far exceeds the conventional use as multidentate liga...

The terphspan scaffold was employed to support a bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand () that provides a m-terphenyl canopy over one side of its metal complexes. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies on a silver complex of {[Ag()]AgBr(2)}(2) revealed an unusual tetranuclear silver core with a Ag-Ag bond distance of 3.0241(8) A with as a trans-chelating ligand (C-Ag-C = 171 degrees ). A prelimi...
