“…A crystal engineering project implies the ability to master a variety of energetically different supramolecular bonding interactions. These range from van der Waals to hydrogen bonding (Steiner, 2002;Jeffrey, 1997) and halogen bonding (Metrangolo et al, 2008;Priimagi et al, 2013;Cavallo et al, 2016) from ligand-to-metal coordination bonds (Mensforth et al, 2013;Batten & Champness, 2017) to ionic interactions, which also differ in terms of directionality, transferability and relative strength.…”

The conceptual relationship between crystal reactivity, stability and metastability, solubility and morphology on the one hand and shape, charge distribution, chirality and distribution of functional groups over the molecular surfaces on the other hand is discussed, via a number of examples coming from three decades of research in the field of crystal engineering at the University of Bologna. The bottom-up preparation of mixed crystals, co-crystals and photoreactive materials starting from molecular building blocks across the borders of organic, organometallic and metalorganic chemistry is recounted.

“…As an important functional material, coordination polymers (CPs) constructed by connecting metal atom nodes with organic bridging ligands have achieved dramatic developments and innovations in the past three decades. [1][2][3][4] An attractive aspect of CPs is that their design ability on molecular level, from a variety of metal cations and organic ligands, endows them with flexible structure metrics, tunable network topologies, and controllable constitutions for technological applications such as sensors, [5] drug delivery, [6,7] energy storage devices, [8,9] and heterogeneous catalysts. [10] The 2D nanoscale CPs with well-defined structures possess highly dense and readily accessible active sites because the surface atoms in CPs nanosheets are coordinatively…”

Conjugated coordination polymers (CPs) with designable and predictable structures have drawn tremendous attention in recent years. However, the poor electrical conductivity and low structural stability seriously restrict their practical applications in electronic devices. Herein, the rational design and synthesis of a hierarchically structured 2D bimetallic CoNi‐hexaaminobenzene CPs derived from Co(OH)2 are reported as an efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) self‐supported electrode. The as‐obtained electrode possesses high electrochemical surface area and intrinsic activity, exhibiting high electrochemical catalytic activity, favorable reaction kinetics performance, and strong durability compared with those of the powder catalysts. As a result, the electrode delivers low overpotential of 219 mV @ 10 mA cm−2 and Tafel slope of 42 mV dec−1 as well as 91.3% retention of current density after 24 h of reaction time. The results of density functional theory computations reveal that the synergistic effect of Co and Ni plays an important role in OER. This work not only presents a strategy to fabricate advanced self‐supported electrodes with abundant and dense active sites, but also promotes the development of conjugated CPs for electrocatalysis.

“…Coordination polymers (CPs) have attracted attention of numerous scientists, and material engineers well over 30 years [ 1 ]. The oldest known CP is the Prussian blue (Fe 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ]3H 2 O) which, since the pioneering work of Keggin and Miles [ 2 ], initiated remarkable development in the field [ 3 , 4 ]. Following the IUPAC recommendation [ 5 ], CP is an array of constitution repeating units linked by coordinate–covalent bonding.…”

Five complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, flufenamic acid were synthesized: (1) [Mn3(fluf)6EtOH)(H2O)]·3EtOH; (2) [Co(fluf)2(EtOH)(H2O)]·H2O; (3) [Ni(fluf)2(EtOH)(H2O)]·H2O; (4) [Cu(fluf)2·H2O]; (5) [Zn(fluf)2·H2O]. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis (EA), flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The crystal structure of 1 was determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with three independent Mn(II) cations, six coordinated flufenamato ligands augmented with water and ethanol molecules in the inner coordination sphere. In this crystal, manganese atoms are multiplied by symmetry and form infinite, polymeric chains which extend along the [001] dimension. The Hirshfeld Surface analysis revealed changes in interaction assemblies around all metal centers. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were established for all complexes and free ligand for comparison. All compounds exhibit good or moderate bioactivity against Gram-positive bacteria and yeasts.
