In the last few decades, coordination complexes based on d6 metal centres and polypyridyl
ligand architectures been developed as structure-and site-specific reversible DNA binding …

Microwave-assisted synthesis is considered environmental-friendly and, therefore, in
agreement with the principles of green chemistry. This form of energy has been employed …

Shorter reaction times, higher product yields, and enhanced selectivity are some of the
advantages microwave heating has over conventional methods, causing its use to transition …

The helicates—chiral assemblies of two or more metal atoms linked by short or relatively
rigid multidentate organic ligands—may be regarded as non-peptide mimetics of α-helices …

The first molecular capsule based on an [Ir (ppy) 2]+ unit (ppy= 2-phenylatopyridine) has
been prepared. Following the development of a method to resolve rac-[(Ir (ppy) 2Cl) 2] into …

Organometallic complexes: these two words jump to the mind of the chemist and are directly
associated with their utility in catalysis or as a pharmaceutical. Nevertheless, to be able to …

This Perspective reviews the impact of exciton coupling on the spectroscopic properties of
coordination compounds. Exciton coupling features arise in electronic absorption and …

Strategies for the design of ligands that combine with metal ions to form high-symmetry
coordination assemblies are reviewed. Evaluation of crystal structure evidence reveals that …

A series of terphenyl-edged Fe4L6 cages were synthesized from substituted 4, 4′′-
diamino-p-terphenyls, 2-formylpyridine, and iron (II). For the parent diaminoterphenyl, all …

A general method for preparing Fe4L4 face-capped tetrahedral cages through
subcomponent self-assembly was developed and has been demonstrated using four …
