One of the most significant recent highlights in the field of supramolecular polymer chemistry is the development of folded helical structures which are important modules in the engineering of functional nanoobjects such as nanotubes, nanowires, and nanomachines.1 In particular, helical architecture that undergoes conformational changes triggered by external stimuli has received attractive atte...

Nuzhath Ahmed Abstract Ferrocene is frequently used in polymer chains owing to their electrochemical properties. The paper aims at identifying novel routes to synthesize a dinuclear complex 1.pyz.1 and a poly [2.pyz]n. The complex 1.pyz.1 is synthesized from the reaction of pyrazine with solution of 1 while the poly is obtained from the reaction of solution of 2 with pyrazine. Following the syn...

The title compound, {[Nd(2)(CH(2)CHCOO)(6)(H(2)O)(3)]·3H(2)O}(n), was synthesized by hydro-thermal methods. The structure contains one-dimensional coordination polymers in which two distinct Nd(III) atoms show different coordination modes. One is coordinated by four bidentate acrylate ligands, two of which bridge Nd(III) atoms, and by two O atoms from a further two bridging acrylate ligands. Th...

A series of 1- and 2-D coordination polymers containing a functionalised diaza-18-crown-6 ligand show guest dependent variation of the ligand length.

This paper provides a brief review of recent progress in the field of metal coordination polymers assembled from azole-containing carboxylic acids and gives a diagrammatic summary of the diversity of topological structures in the resulting infinite metal-organic coordination networks (MOCNs). Azole-containing carboxylic acids are a favorable kind of multifunctional ligand to construct various m...

The weak fluorescence of lanthanide/nucleotide coordination polymers was greatly enhanced by Ag(+) in aqueous solution, which has been used for highly sensitive sensing of Ag(+).

The past ten years have evidenced the rapid development of bipyridinium-based coordination polymers, however, the design and synthesis of photo-switchable luminescent materials with a non-destructive readout capability based on bipyridinium ligands are still at the primary stage. In this work, two new coordination polymers with a bipyridinium-functionalized m-benzenedicarboxyl ligand were synth...
