Syntheses, structures, and fluorescence properties of cadmium(II) and zinc(II) complexes based on 1,1′-binaphthalenyl-2,2′-diamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid

Stimulus-responsive reversible thermochromism and exciplex emission of a Zn(ii) complex and selective sensing of NH3 gas

A Zn(ii) complex exhibits reversible thermochromism and emission switch, and the resulting free radical species responds fast and selectively toward NH₃.

An asymmetric binuclear zinc(ii) complex with mixed iminodiacetate and phenanthroline ligands: synthesis, characterization, structural conversion and anticancer properties

A water-soluble asymmetric binuclear zinc(ii) complex with mixed iminodiacetate and 1,10-phenanthroline ligands exhibited promising anticancer activity and low toxicity, suggesting potential as a chemotherapeutic agent.

Synthesis, structure and luminescence properties of a cadmium(ii)-based coordination polymer with (S)-4,4′-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl as chiral linker

[{Cd₂(L)₂(H₂O)}·18 dmf]_n forms a two-dimensional chiral coordination polymer.
