In 1967 Pederson reported the synthesis of macrocyclic crown ethers and their ability to
selectively bind alkali and alkaline earth ions, 1, 2 and since then supramolecular …

Hydroxamic acids, RCC (O) N (RN) OH (RC= alkyl/aryl; RN= alkyl/aryl or H), coordinate a
wide variety of transition metal ions predominantly as the monoanionic hydroxamato or …

The potential of tetrazolate-based ligands for forming metal− organic frameworks of utility in
hydrogen storage is demonstrated with the use of 1, 4-benzeneditetrazolate (BDT2-) to …

The coordination chemistry of pyridyl oximes is reviewed. Simple pyridyl oximes have the
general formula (py) C (R) NOH, where py is a pyridyl group (2-, 3-or 4-) attached to the …

The strategy of using 'metal oximates' building blocks as ligands to synthesize various homo-
and hetero-metal paramagnetic complexes is reviewed. The modular approach with 'metal …

Optical devices and biomedical imaging probes increasingly utilize the long lifetimes and
narrow linewidths of luminescent lanthanide (LnIII) ions.[1] Near-infrared (NIR) emitting LnIII …

This review on hydroxamic acids deals with their efficacy as inhibitors of enzymes including
cyclooxygenases, their synthesis, the complexity and structural diversity of their metal …

Trinuclear metallamacrocycles can be obtained by reactions of (arene) Ru, Cp* Rh and Cp*
Ir complexes with pyridonate ligands. Using 3-oxy-pyridonate as the bridging ligand …

The outstanding chemical and structural features of 12-MC-4 metallacrowns allow for
versatile applications in magneto-chemical research. Herein, we present three novel …
