Synthesis, crystal structures, and dye removal properties of a series of discrete and polymeric copper, zinc, cobalt, and cadmium complexes containing bis-pyridyl-bis-amine ligands

Tailoring the structures and transformations between copper complexes in gas–solid reactions and solid-state synthesis

A series of unusual structures and transformations between several copper salts and complexes induced in the solid–gas and solid-state reactions were investigated.

Reactivity among first and second coordination spheres using a multiprotonated ligand and Cu(ii) in the solid-state

The solid-state reactivity among nonporous Cu(ii) second and first sphere adducts has been studied using a multidentate flexible ligand in combination with quantum mechanics.
