Electron-rich uranium coordination complexes display a pronounced reactivity toward small molecules. In this Feature article, the exciting chemistry of trivalent uranium ions coordinated to classic Werner-type ligand environments is reviewed. Three fundamentally important reactions of the [(((R)ArO)3tacn)U]-system are presented that result in alkane coordination, CO/CO2 activation, and nitrogen...

Ortho-vanillin became very popular in coordination chemistry because of its Schiff bases, which generate a rich variety of complexes, ranging from oligonuclear species to coordination polymers. Some of these organic molecules are particularly useful in metallosupramolecular chemistry for assembling homo- and heterometallic helicates. The Schiff bases obtained using aminoalcohols open the door t...

Antibiotic resistance has been growing at an alarming rate and consequently the activity of antibiotics against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria has dropped dramatically day by day. In this sense there is a strong need to synthesis new substances that not only have good spectrum of activity, but having new mechanisms of action. Inorganic compounds particularly metal complexes have playe...
