Mellitate Coordination Polymers

Accepted Manuscripts are published online shortly after acceptance, which is prior to technical editing, formatting and proof reading. This free service from RSC Publishing allows authors to make their results available to the community, in citable form, before publication of the edited article. This Accepted Manuscript will be replaced by the edited and formatted Advance Article as soon as thi...

Chemistry of porous coordination polymers

Remarkable advances in the recent development of porous compounds based upon coordination polymers have paved the way toward functional chemistry having potential applications such as gas storage, separation, and catalysis. From the synthetic point of view, the advantage is a designable framework, which can readily be constructed from building blocks, the so-called bottom-up assembly. Compared ...

Thoughts on Pharmaceutical Research Coordination

Futurologists continue to tell us (Naisbit 1982, Diebold 1984, Porter 1985, Skinner 1985, Toffler 1990) that we are entering an information age, in which intellectual property and the ability to translate it into flexible productive systems will be the principal competitive advantage available to corporations. Exploiting information systems for this purpose in the pharmaceutical industry is a d...

An introduction to the virtual issue on coordination polymers.

The effect of pH on the dimensionality of coordination polymers.

Hydrothermal reactions of simple alkaline salts or their hydroxides with 3,5-pyrazoledicarboxylic acid (H(3)pdc) yielded seven new compounds. At a lower pH level three one-dimensional structures [Ca(Hpdc)(H(2)O)(4)].2H(2)O (1), [Ca(Hpdc)(H(2)O)(4)].H(2)O (2), and [Ba(H(2)pdc)(2)(H(2)O)(4)].2H(2)O (6) were obtained by evaporation of the solutions resulting from hydro(solvo)thermal reactions of M...
