Two new carboxylate–oxygen bridged trinuclear M(II) (MMn and Co) compounds with zwitterionic dicarboxylate ligands: crystal structures and magnetism

A metal–organic framework constructed by a viologen-derived ligand: photochromism and discernible detection of volatile amine vapors

A Co(ii)-MOF based on a viologen-derived ligand was obtained: the Co(ii) compound exhibits photochromism, and allows the visual and differentiable detection of different volatile alkylamines.

Homochiral coordination polymers constructed from V-shaped oxybisbenzoyl-based amino acid derivatives: structures, magnetic and photoluminescence properties

Five novel amino acid-modified HCPs have been prepared using the V-shaped semi-rigid 4,4′-oxybis(benzoic acid) instead of usual rigid polycarboxylate units.

Five new 2D and 3D coordination polymers based on two new multifunctional pyridyl–tricarboxylate ligands: hydrothermal syntheses, structural diversity, luminescent and magnetic properties

Five new Zn(ii), Cd(ii), Co(ii) and Mn(ii) MOFs based on two novel multifunctional pyridyl–tricarboxylate ligands: structures, luminescent and magnetic properties.

Four coordination polymers based on dinuclear and trinuclear units with a new multifunctional pyridyl-dicarboxylate ligand: luminescence and magnetic properties

Four coordination polymers with a new pyridyl-dicarboxylate ligand were synthesized under solvothermal conditions and studied by means of X-ray crystallography, topological analyses, luminescence and magnetic analyses.

The structural diversity and properties of nine new viologen based zwitterionic metal–organic frameworks

A viologen based ligand has been explored as a functional building block to synthesize a series of nine new zwitterionic metal–organic frameworks with this contribution reporting on their structural, thermal and photochromic properties.
