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 branched iron-phenanthroline based coordination polymer has been constructed in a water based system using a click chemistry approach to link monomeric coordination complexes together within a protein cage nanoarchitecture, which acts both as a template and a sized constrained reaction environment.

Coordination polymer particles (CPPs) have recently emerged as a new family of nanoparticles. The potential multifunctionality of these nanosystems and the flexibility of their coordination chemistry open new perspectives in different fields, including medicine. This review outlines the most recent advances in this field, from CPP synthesis to their use as smart drug delivery systems, bioimagin...

BN Benzonitrile 2, a 1,2-dihydro-1,2-azaborine bearing an electron-withdrawing boron substituent was prepared and characterized, and its coordination chemistry investigated; reactivity studies revealed that BN benzonitrile 2 undergoes BCN-BNC linkage isomerism upon coordination to Cr(CO)(5).

The first explanation of spin-crossover in iron(II) complexes was published in Chem. Commun. in 1966. This has led to nearly 50 years of research in coordination chemistry, crystal engineering, solid state chemistry and physics, and nanoscience involving this class of molecular switch.

Three hybrid compounds have been synthesized through hydrothermal reactions of UO(2)(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O with 4-halobenzoic acid (X = Cl, Br, I). The formation of these compounds utilizes a composite synthesis methodology that explicitly employs aspects of both coordination chemistry and supramolecular chemistry (namely halogen···halogen interactions).

The ability of Rh(I) centers to undergo photoinduced electron transfer from discrete metal orbitals to Bodipy fluorophores is mediated through reversible coordination chemistry.

Long chiral metal-organic nanofibers can be grown using conventional coordination chemistry and biologically derived components in a diffusion controlled growth procedure.

A new class of metal-peptide nanoassemblies has been prepared by combining the principles of supramolecular coordination chemistry with those of de novo protein design.

CrystEngComm PAPER Wolfgang Schmitt et al. Exploring the coordination chemistry of bifunctional organoarsonate ligands: syntheses and characterisation of coordination polymers that contain 4-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)phenylarsonic acid a This account describes the coordination chemistry of a novel bifunctional arsonic acid ligand, 4-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)phenylarsonic acid (H 2 TPAA) that contains a tr...
