Review for chiral-at-metal complexes and metal-organic framework enantiomorphs

Review and prospect of NiCo2O4-based composite materials for supercapacitor electrodes

“…[179] . Compared with familiar inorganic porous materials, their crystalline structures with high-porosity, larger specific surface areas, diversity of structures and controllable functionalities [180][181][182][183][184][185][186] . Recently, owing to their porous structures with high surface areas, MOFs have been used as desired sacrificial templates to support various porous active materials, such as carbonaceous materials, metal oxides, and metal phosphides [187][188][189][190][191] .…”

Broad-Range Spectral Analysis for Chiral Metal Coordination Compounds: (Chiro)optical Superspectrum of Cobalt(II) Complexes

“…The coordination chemistry of transition metals is rich of examples and applications of chirality. , Particularly interesting are those metal complexes where the metal itself is a center of chirality. − The stereochemistry of coordination compounds is in general quite sophisticated, because of the variable number of oxidation and valence states and different coordination geometries. However, if one is able to control all these aspects, coordination chemistry becomes a formidable tool for achieving elaborate chiral architectures with specific functions. − In addition to standard characterization techniques, chiral compounds can be investigated by means of chiroptical spectroscopies such as electronic and vibrational circular dichroism (ECD and VCD). , In the field of chiroptical spectroscopies, chiral coordination compounds are often much more than just chiral species containing one or more metal centers.…”

Improving the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution of UiO-67 by incorporating Ce4+-coordinated bipyridinedicarboxylate ligands

“…Photocatalytic water splitting can provide a green way to produce H 2 and relieve the energy shortage crisis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) produced using organic linkers (i.e., multidentate ligands) and metal-based nodes, are attracting tremendous interests as promising alternative photocatalysts [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. It has been believed that the photocatalytic activities of MOFs arise from the ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) process [20], but our previous study [21] demonstrated that ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) process can provide a new pathway of the electron transfer leading to a higher photocatalytic activity.…”
