Ni(II)/Cu(I) based coordination polymers with heterofunctional ligands integrating pyridine and pyrimidinethione structural motifs

Ni-thiosaccharinate complexes: Synthesis, characterization and DFT studies. Biological properties as superoxide dismutase mimetics and as anti-carcinogenic agents

“…The crystallographic symmetry also makes the core exactly planar. Usually Ni complexes containing ligands with sulfur atoms tend to form polynuclear S-bridge species [39], but also mononuclear complexes have been obtained depending on the selected co-ligands [40,41]. The thionate ligands are monoanionic when bound through their exocyclic sulfur atom to the nickel atom.…”

Metal ions directed assembly of two coordination polymers based on an organic phosphonate anion and a multidentate N-donor ligand

“…Therefore, they may be used as photocatalytic materials [37,38]. The different E g values of the two compounds may be caused by the different central metals, which can result in the different extent of orbital overlap between metal ions and organic ligands [39,40]. Coordination polymers with d 10 metal centers have many applications in the fields of display, sensor, illumination, and so on [41][42][43][44].…”
