Abstract Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are of great interest for biomedicine due to their high loading capacity various drugs, dyes, and other small molecules. In vivo application MOFs requires sizes nanoparticles colloidal stability. Here we designed the first nano-sized composed bismuth trimesic acid by a rapid microwave-assisted solvothermal method. After coating prepared with polyacrylic ...

The concept of chemoremediation in the liquid homogeneous phase using polymer reagents as a green technology is presented and outlined. It is based on the retention of polymer–metal complexes in aqueous solution according to their molecular size by using membrane filtration. The fundamentals of the metal ion interaction with respect to enrichment and separation procedures are discussed, and the...

A dynamic porous coordination network with a hydrophobic channel was assembled from stretchable 1D metallosalen polymer, which has the ability to recognize and, particularly, separate aromatic hydrocarbons from aliphatic mixtures with high selectivity.

A 3D 2-fold interpenetrated porous coordination polymer, [Fe(NCS)2(tppm)]·5CH3OH·2CH2Cl2 (·sol, tppm = 4,4',4'',4'''-tetrakis(4-pyridylethen-2-yl)tetraphenylmethane), was synthesized, which showed temperature, light and solvent-induced spin-crossover behaviours.

A coordination polymer, [Co(II)(bIM)(acetate)] (bIM = benzimidazole) was synthesized using a solvothermal method; the complex has a two dimensional non-interpenetrated network structure and exhibits a spin-canted antiferromagnetic behaviour at low temperature and a high coercive field.

A 2D network [Zn4(OH)2(5-NO2-1,3-BDC)2(5-NO2-1,3-HBDC)2(ppene)2]n underwent a highly selective [2+2] photodimerization reaction upon UV irradiation. The coordination polymer retains its single crystallinity after photoreaction.

A layered coordination polymer Co(PDC)(H2O)2.H2O containing two helical chains was synthesized, and the resultant crystals were not racemic as evidenced by the observation of strong signals in vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra.
