Pioneered by Lehn, Cram, Peterson and Breslow, supramolecular chemistry concepts have evolved providing fundamental knowledge of the relationships between the structures and reactivities of organized molecules. A particular fascinating class of metallo-supramolecular molecules are hollow coordination cages that provide cavities of molecular dimensions promoting applications in diverse areas inc...

Service-oriented coordination mechanism is adopted during the process of constructing IADS (Intelligent autonomous decentralized system) and thus an SMGIAC (SoftMan group intelligent autonomous coordination) model is proposed. Services community integrated with GP (Global planning), role-based service discovering/binding strategy is applied to constructing the service-oriented tuple space to pr...

Bis-acylhydrazones of 2,6-pyridinedicarbaldehyde are introduced as planar pentadentate ligands for the coordination of lanthanide(III) ions. With large cations (e.g. lanthanum(III)) 1 : 1 as well as 2 : 1 ligand-to-metal complexes are formed depending on the stoichiometry of the reaction. The different complexes are distinguished by NMR spectroscopy and ESI MS in solution and they can be charac...

A [Co(6)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(datrz)(2)](6+) ribbon-based blue framework with a metamagnetic transition from an antiferromagnetic ordering to a weak spontaneous magnetization state, {[Co(3)(CH(3)OH)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(datrz)(sip)]·2.25H(2)O}(n) (1, Hdatrz = 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole, sip(3-) = 3,5-dicarboxybenzenesulfonate), was solvothermally synthesized. 1 exhibits a reversible single-crystal-to-single-crys...

Li salts and polar solvents form solvates, certain solvates have low melting temperatures remain in a liquid state at room temperature. Liquid-state exhibit ionic conductivity can be used as electrolytes lithium batteries. The author co-workers systematically studied the interactions of Li+ ions with anions, Li+-coordination structures, thermal properties, transport electrochemical properties m...

In the present article, we report liquid crystal and self-assembly abilities of new RuII acetylide complexes their organic counterparts. The four compounds show mesogenic properties. Importantly, introducing metal center its bulky coordination sphere dramatically changes supramolecular packing at solid state. When bears only one ligand, occurs in solution state, yet with no solvent gelation.

The structure of inositol monophosphatase has been determined to 2.60 A resolution in complexes with Mn2+ and with Mn2+ and phosphate. In the Mn2+ complex, three metal cations and one Cl were bound in the active site on each of the two subunits of the enzyme. Ligands to the three metals include the side chains of Glu 70, Asp 90, Asp 93, and Asp 220, t he carbonyl group of Ile 92, several solven...
