Abstract:

A major goal in inorganic supramolecular chemistry is the self-assembly of polynuclear coordination arrays through the suitable design of ligands and choice of metal ions in order to generate well-defined architectures in a controlled fashion. In addition to the novel physicochemical properties that such entities may present, they are potentially interesting as components of functional nanostructures.
