The node-and-spacer approach is widely employed in crystal engineering to construct coordination polymers. It consists of self-assembly processes involving mononuclear cationic species and exo-dentate ligands. We enlarged this strategy using preformed homo- and heterometallic complexes as nodes. The presence of

The interaction between copper ions and gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine [glutathione (GSH)] molecules may lead to the formation of the physiologically occurring Cu[I)-[GSH]2 and Cu(II)-GSSG complexes. Since glutathione depletion in neurons and aberrant copper metabolism have been implicated in several neurodegenerative disorders, we

Metal (Cu, Co, or Zn) loaded ZSM-5 and Y zeolite adsorbents were prepared for the adsorption of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) toxic gas. The results showed that the HCN breakthrough capacity was enhanced significantly when zeolites were loaded with Cu. The
Three new R-isophthalic acid-based (R = H or Br) coordination polymers have been designed and synthesized. By changing the N-containing ligand in the system, we are able to tune the dimensionality of coordination polymers from one-dimension (1D) to two-dimensions (2D)

The development of indium-free transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) on polymer substrates for flexible devices requires deposition at low temperatures and a limited thermal treatment. In this paper, we investigated the optical and electrical properties of ZnO/Cu/ZnO multi-layer electrodes obtained by
