Supramolecular Coordination Assemblies Constructed From Multifunctional Azole-Containing Carboxylic Acids

Abstract

This paper provides a brief review of recent progress in the field of metal coordination polymers assembled from azole-containing carboxylic acids and gives a diagrammatic summary of the diversity of topological structures in the resulting infinite metal-organic coordination networks (MOCNs). Azole-containing carboxylic acids are a favorable kind of multifunctional ligand to construct various metal complexes with isolated complexes and one, two and three dimensional structures, whose isolated complexes are not the focus of this review. An insight into the topology patterns of the infinite coordination polymers is provided. Analyzed topologies are compared with documented topologies and catalogued by the nature of nodes and connectivity pattern. New topologies which are not available from current topology databases are described and demonstrated graphically.

Syntheses, Crystal Structures, Luminescent Properties, and Electrochemical Synthesis of Group 12 Element Coordination Polymers with 4-Substituted 1,2,4-Triazole Ligands

“…Azoles and their derivatives are widely used as organic connectors in supramolecular coordination chemistry, leading to a variety of networks due to their numerous coordination modes. − This includes monodentate, bidentate chelating, or bidentate bridging modes, depending on the position and the nature of the substituent at the azole ring. The types of architecture range from 1D azole coordination polymers (ACPs) to 2D or 3D metal-azolate networks (MANs) and frameworks (MAFs). − It is quite challenging to control the construction of polynuclear complexes, as structural modifications of building blocks influence the final structural motifs through covalent bonding and various weak interactions.…”

Alternating Ferro/Antiferromagnetic Copper(II) Chain Containing an Unprecedented Triple Formato/Hydroxido/Sulfato Bridge

“…The rational design and synthesis of new coordination polymers (CPs) is one of the most active research areas in chemistry of materials in the past decade. This activity has been fuelled by the development of novel extended supramolecular architectures of widespread use in a variety of technological applications. − A recurrent strategy for the construction of coordination polymers consists of assembling more than one type of organic ligand around the metal ion to yield CPs in which the properties and functionalities of the selected ligands combine with those of the metal ion. − …”
