The charge densities and compositions of many known solids with VxOy layers were screened for possible charge density matches with M(pyz)x (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) layers [35, 52], as an aid in the synthesis of new heterometallic multilayered vanadates. Close matches were found with M(pyz)x (M = Fe, Co, Ni) coordination polymers, ranging from 0.022/A -0.053/A, and which might suitably form in the presence of the flexible types of V2O5 layers. For example, Co(pyz) layers of chains in Co(pyz)(V03)2 [53] have a charge density of...

Coordination polymers can be simply classified according to their dimensionality one-dimensional (1-D) two-dimensional (2-D), and three-dimensional (3-D). They can be homometallic (containing only one type of metal ions) and heterometallic (containing at least two types of metal ions). 

Platinum (260-262) and palladium (262,263) complexes have been incorporated into dendrimeric materials. Polymers incorporating both platinum and palladium units coordinated to bipyridine ligands have been reported by Pudde-phatt and co-workers (114) (262). These dendrimers were prepared via oxidative addition of a C—Br bond to a platinum complex, giving the core molecule. Further reaction with platinum or palladium complexes resulted in the homo- or heterometallic materials, respectively.
