“…Halide complexeso fp ost-transition (in particular,P b, Sb, and Bi)a nd late transition (Cu, Ag) elements have revealed a number of interesting physicalp roperties relevant for materials science, such as:f erroelectricity and ferroelasticity, [1][2][3] photocatalytic properties, [4][5][6] unusuals olvent-induced color changes, [7] photochromism, [8] thermochromism, [9][10][11] etc. From the point of view of coordination chemistry,a na ttractive feature of these compounds is the great variety of structural types.…”
