The spontaneous self-organization of matters has always been one of the most fascinating
wonders in the world. Self-assembly refers to “the autonomous organization of components …

1.1. Scope of the Review The development of chemical sensors is a subject that continues to
fascinate chemists in academic research. Aside from the purely academic interest, there is of …

When considering new sensory technologies one should look to nature for guidance.
Indeed, living organisms have developed the ultimate chemical sensors. Many insects can …

The synthesis, electrochemistry, and photophysics of a series of square planar Pt (II)
complexes are reported. The complexes have the general structure C∧ N Pt (O∧ O), where …

The electroluminescence (EL) from a dinuclear-gold (I)-chlorate compound containing
bridging phosphine ligands [Au 2 (dppm) Cl 2] as emitting layer is reported. Devices with a …

Metal-ligand interactions are inherent in a succession of important self-assembly strategies
used in supramolecular chemistry. To this extent, the development of chelating ligands and …

A new class of cyclometalated tetradentate platinum complexes of the type Pt N/\C–O–LL′
was synthesized and characterized. N/\C is a cyclometalating ligand such as phenyl …

A new set of luminescent platinum (II) diimine complexes has been synthesized and
characterized. The anionic ligands in these complexes are arylacetylides. The complexes …

Vapoluminescent materials that display reversible and naked eye perceivable colour or
luminescence changes have been used as sensors for detection of volatile organic …

A novel Pt (II) terpyridine complex that has a nicotinamide moiety linked to the terpyridyl
ligand has been synthesized in good yield and studied structurally and spectroscopically …
