Coordination chemistry design strategies

Such coordination chemistry design concepts may be incorporated into a building block approach for the hydrothermal synthesis of novel bimetallic oxides. This strategy reflects the observation that the identity of the molybdenum oxide component can be directed to some degree...

A variety of metal and ligand components have been successfully employed in metallo-supramolecular chemistry. In reviewing this area of chemistry, it becomes clear that certain coordination motifs serve as staple components in assembly construction, while others rarely appear in supramolecular architectures. We will examine these trends both to enhance our understanding of design strategies, and to reveal untapped opportunities for new design. 

The author wishes the strategies for molecular design of luminescent lanthanide complexes described in this thesis would have contribution to development of applications in novel organic lanthanide devices, such as organic liquid lasers, luminescent plastics, optical fibers, EL devices, and temperature-sensing devices. The photochemistry of luminescent lanthanide complexes is expected to open up frontier fields between lanthanide coordination chemistry and photo-functional materials science.
