Metal-containing clusters have attracted increasing attention over the past 2–3 decades.
This intense interest can be attributed to the fact that these discrete metal aggregates, whose …

Single-molecule magnets represent the ultimate size limit for spin-based information storage
and processing; however, such applications require large spin relaxation barriers and …

Biologically active compounds which are light‐responsive offer experimental possibilities
which are otherwise very difficult to achieve. Since light can be manipulated very precisely …

The phenomenon of single-molecule magnetism was established in the early 1990s with the
cluster [Mn 12 O 12 (AcO) 16 (H 2 O) 4]. Since then, a large number of compounds …

In 1967 Pederson reported the synthesis of macrocyclic crown ethers and their ability to
selectively bind alkali and alkaline earth ions, 1, 2 and since then supramolecular …

In search of functional molecular materials and the study of their formation mechanism, we
report the elucidation of a hierarchical step-by-step formation from monomer (Mn) to …

The chemistry of large lanthanide clusters has long been a focus of coordination chemists
due to the unique properties conferred upon molecules that have f electrons. Recently, large …

The coordination chemistry of pyridyl oximes is reviewed. Simple pyridyl oximes have the
general formula (py) C (R) NOH, where py is a pyridyl group (2-, 3-or 4-) attached to the …

Polynuclear coordination clusters have become of particular interest in recent times as a
result of their relevance to bioinorganic chemistry and to the special area of molecule-based …

Five new MnII coordination polymers, namely [Mn2 (tbip) 2 (bix)](1),[Mn3 (tbip) 3 (bix)
2](2),[Mn3 (tbip) 2 (Htbip) 2 (bib) 2]· 4H2O (3),[Mn4 (tbip) 4 (bbp) 2 (H2O) 2](4), and [Mn4 …
