Coordination polymers of copper(II) prepared at liquid‐liquid interfaces

Multi-scale crystal engineering of metal organic frameworks

“…Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) or more widely speaking, Coordination Polymers (CPs) are known from the late 1950s [6] and early 1960s [7][8][9][10][11], 1 although it was not until the 90s when the field attracted a great deal of attention, specially thanks to the seminal works of the teams of Robson [12,13], Kitagawa [14,15], Yaghi [16], Lee and Moore [17] and Férey [18], who firstly identified the full potential of this family of ordered solids. MOFs are crystalline compounds consisting of infinite lattices built up of inorganic secondary building units (SBU, metal ions or clusters) and organic linkers, connected by coordination bonds of moderate strength [19,20].…”

Multi-Emissive Lanthanide-Based Coordination Polymers for Potential Application as Luminescent Bar-Codes

“…Isostructural lanthanide-based coordination polymers that are obtained by reactions in water of a lanthanide chloride and the sodium salt of 5-methoxyisophthalate (mip 2 (mip) 3 ] ∞ ). Some of these homo-lanthanide compounds present very high luminescence brightness.…”

“…Because of lanthanide ions unique chemical and physical properties, lanthanide-based coordination polymers [1][2][3] arouse a growing interest for more than a decade. [4][5][6][7][8][9] Indeed, these compounds, that present fascinating molecular structures, [10][11] exhibit interesting and original magnetic 12 and optical [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] properties.…”

Coordination Polymers: From Metal–Organic Frameworks to Spheres

“…

coordination polymers · fluorescence · host-guest systems · magnetism · metal-organic frameworks Research in the area of coordination polymers has been undertaken for over fifty years [1] but in recent years the term coordination polymer has been replaced more and more by the term metal-organic framework (MOF). [2] The study of metal-organic frameworks has grown so rapidly over the last ten years that it is now almost impossible to read one of the top chemistry or materials journals without encountering the latest development in the design and evaluation of the properties of these fascinating materials.
