Acrylic Polymers Containing a Nickel Salphen Complex: An Approach to Supramolecular and Macromolecular Systems

Abstract

In one word,h ow would you describe your research? Multidisciplinary.W ew ork in this way to tackle challenges either in basic science or in applied technology,w hich would be otherwise difficultt oa ddress from au nidisciplinary perspective. In this manner,w ea im to find new research avenues that could help in solving problems by using an approach based on supramolecular chemistry,self-assembly,nanoscience, and nanotechnology. Invited for this month'sc over are Prof.M artha Escµrcega-Bobadilla and Prof. Gustavo Zelada-GuillØn, collaborators from the National AutonomousU niversityo fM exico (UNAM). The cover picture shows the structure of ap olymerizable Ni-Salphen complex, determined by X-ray crystallography,w here the Ni center displays 1:1a nd 1:2h ost-guest stoichiometries toward anions, bothcoexisting in solution.
