Structural changes are accompanied by the movements of atoms/molecules and hence
transformation of one structure to another is difficult in the solid state due to the restricted …

The purpose of this tutorial review is to address the use of metal ions to mediate reactions in
the organic solid state. We describe metal complexes and coordination networks that …

Highly crystalline metal ions containing organic polymers are potentially useful to
manipulate the magnetic and optical properties to make advanced multifunctional materials …

Organic polymers are usually amorphous or possess very low crystallinity. The metal
complexes of organic polymeric ligands are also difficult to crystallize by traditional methods …

Despite its simplicity as a short and rod-like linear linker, acetylenedicarboxylate (ADC) has
for a long time been somewhat overlooked in the engineering of coordination polymers …

Two new one-dimensional coordination polymers (1D CPs){[Zn (adc)(4-spy) 2 (H2O) 2]} n
(1), and {[Cd (adc)(4-spy) 2 (H2O) 2]} n (2)(H2adc= acetylenedicarboxylic acid and 4-spy= 4 …

Two isostructural coordination polymers of formula [Ln2 (ADC) 3 (H2O) 6]⊙ 2H2O,(ADC=
acetyledicarboxylato dianion, Ln3+= La3+ or Ce3+) have been prepared at room …

Alternate bpeb ligands in the polyrotaxane 2D coordination polymer [Cd (bpeb)(sdb)]· DMA
(1) selectively undergo polymerization via a [2+ 2] cycloaddition reaction to form a …

Eight new water soluble and neutral one-dimensional, V-shaped coordination polymers
(CPs) of Zn (II)(1–4) and Cd (II)(5–8) with a general formula of {[M2 (bpxa) 2 (adc) 2]· xH2O} …

New three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular assemblies held together by strong hydrogen
bonding interactions between two-dimensional (2D) layers of the [Mn2 (adc) 2 (bpta) 2 …
