Importance of Metal—Ligand Bond Energies in Organometallic Chemistry An Overview... 

The acquisition and analysis of metal-ligand bond energy information in organometallic molecules represents an active and important research area in modern chemistry. This overview begins with a brief historical introduction to the subject, followed by a discussion of basic principles, experimental methodology, and issues, and concludes with an overview of the Symposium Series volume organization and contents. 

Abstract This review presents an overview of the area of anion-templated synthesis of molecules and supramolecular assemblies. The review is divided into two main sections the first part deals with anion-templated systems where the final products are linked by bonds that are not reversible under the conditions of the experiment Several recent examples of macrocycles, cages and interlocked species are presented in this section. The second part of the chapter, presents a discussion of anion-templation in systems containing reversible bonds that give rise to dynamic combinatorial libraries (either by formation of coordination metal-ligand bonds or by reversible covalent bonds).

An overview on supramolecular polymer chemistry is presented in combination with a discussion of several potential smart systems based on hydrogen bonding and metal-ligand interactions. For a particular system, terpyridine-metal, the switchable properties are discussed in [291]. 

This survey is confined to an overview of group 13 amides containing M-NR2 (R = H, alkyl, aryl, silyl, etc.) groups derivatives where nitrogen is part of a delocalized or polydentate ligand, are not generally covered. However, as in the 1980 book, iminome-tallanes (metal imides) of formula (RMNR ) are treated because of their close relationship to amides and also because of the relevance of the lower derivatives (n= 1, 2 or 3) for possible M N multiple bonding.
