Heterometallic coordination polymers as heterogeneous electrocatalysts

Abstract

Heterometallic coordination polymers are emerging as a class of crystalline materials for sustainable energy production via electrocatalysis thanks to the synergistic and cooperative effects of different kinds of metal centres...

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of tris(acetohydrazide-κ2 N,O)(nitrato-κO)(nitrato-κ2 O,O′)terbium(III) nitrate

“…Over the past two decades, there has been increasing interest in the construction of new lanthanide-based coordination compounds, not only because of their structural diversity but also because of their fascinating potential applications in luminescence, magnetism, adsorption, and similar areas (Roy et al, 2014;Cui et al, 2018;Kuwamura et al, 2021). It is well known that lanthanide(III) ions have a high affinity for and prefer binding to hard donor atoms.…”

A Bispidine Based CuII/ZnII Heterobimetallic Coordination Polymer

“…[8] A common strategy for constructing heterometallic CPs is based on a two-step process involving the formation, as key intermediate, of a metalloligand, [9] i.e., a metal complex capable of acting as a ligand for further interactions with a second metal ion extending the framework; however, other options are also possible. [10] Recently, we have developed 1D CPs based with bispidine ligands. This class of ligands is especially interesting due to the presence of a rigid bicyclic core, which can be functionalized quite easily by introducing different metal donor sites.…”

Self-Assembly of 1D Double-Chain and 3D Diamondoid Networks of Lanthanide Coordination Polymers through In Situ-Generated Ligands: High-Pressure CO2 Adsorption and Photoluminescence Properties

“…Coordination polymers are a class of crystalline organic-inorganic materials built by connecting metal ions or clusters and organic bridges through coordination bonds [ 1 ]. These hybrid solid materials possess the intriguing architectures of variable dimensionality that allow potential applications in the fields of adsorption, luminescence, catalysis, and magnetism [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Lanthanide-based coordination polymers (LnCPs) have drawn much attention during the past few decades due to their unique optical properties, such as high luminescence efficiency, long luminescence lifetimes, and narrow bandwidths, allowing for potential applications in sensing, lighting, and integrated optics [ 7 ].…”
