Metal carbonyl cluster-based coordination polymers: diverse syntheses, versatile network structures, and special properties

Abstract

This highlight surveys recent progress in groups 6–10 metal carbonyl cluster-based coordination polymers, focusing on diverse synthetic strategies, versatile structures, structural transformations, and semiconducting as well as magnetic properties.

Metal carbonyl clusters of groups 8–10: synthesis and catalysis

“…Chalcogens can also be introduced using elemental O 2 , S 8 , Se, or Te, or using chalcogen-containing EO x 2molecules under reducing conditions. 2,3,5,6,[8][9][10][11][12]30,59,60 ). This method is largely employed for the synthesis of Co-, Rh-, and Ni-carbide MCCs.…”

Activation of robust bonds by carbonyl complexes of Mn, Fe and Co

“…More broadly, in the future we will likely see more research on metal carbonyls that involves collaborations between different areas of chemistry, combining concepts from traditional coordination chemistry with emerging fields, such as nanotechnology 154 and materials science. 155…”

Uncoordinated‐substituents‐induced zinc(II) coordination polymers exhibiting multifunctional fluorescent sensing activity for cations, anions and organochlorine pesticides

“…[10][11][12][13][14] At present, the research on the relationship between structure and properties of coordination polymers has attracted wide attention. [15,16] However, controlled synthesis of target CPs is still a challenge, which is of great significance to study it.…”

“…The main factors affecting the formation of CPs are metal ions, types of organic ligands, coordination modes of carboxylic acids and so on [10–14] . At present, the research on the relationship between structure and properties of coordination polymers has attracted wide attention [15,16] . However, controlled synthesis of target CPs is still a challenge, which is of great significance to study it.…”
