Supramolecular chemistry inorganic

Extended linear chain inorganic compounds have special chemical and physical properties [60,61], This has led to new developments in fields such as supramolecular chemistry, acid-base chemistry, luminescent materials, and various optoelectronic applications. Among recent examples are the developments of a vapochromic light emitting diode from linear chain Pt(II)/Pd(II) complexes [62], a luminescent switch consisting of an Au(I) dithiocarbamate complex that possesses a luminescent linear...

The problem behind all these questions is that perhaps we have automatically and uncritically accepted the artificial distinction between Chemistry and Biochemistry (and even perhaps Biology) as a natural and insuperable barrier. But, what does "Molecular Biology" really mean or "Supramolecular Chemistry" And what about "Bioorganic Chemistry" Has it even nowadays any meaning to differentiate between Organic and Inorganic Chemistry ...

In the present volume, our intention was to cover several modern approaches to phosphorus chemistry which were not, or at least not completely, covered in the previous volumes. The selected topics are expected to have broader relevance and to be interesting to a more general readership, since key aspects of phosphorus chemistry are pointed out. Indeed, several fields are investigated coordination chemistry, catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, biochemistry, hybrid organic-inorganic materials, new ambiphilic ligands, and biology. 

The development of chemistry in the last 20 years has revealed a significant shift of interest on the part of theoreticians and experimentalists [1,2]. Earlier, chemists attention was concentrated on atoms and atom-atom bonds. This strategy has been very successful in the creation of new molecules with unusual structures and with new chemical and physical properties. However, two decades ago, the primary objects of chemical studies become intermolecular interactions leading to complex molecular assemblies that exhibit unusual and often unique macro properties. This situation has dominated in all areas of modem chemical science from physical, organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry to material science and biochemistry, and has resulted in the formulation of new chemical disciplines supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering. 

The hydrogen bond has been known for more than 100 years but still a topic of vital scientific research due to its importance in not only organic chemistry but also in inorganic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, biochemistry, and several...

Most of sentiments expressed in the preface to the earlier edition of this book still hold. In the past five years metal-directed chemistry and the use of metal ions to control the stereochemical course of reactions have undergone something of a renaissance. The interface of inorganic and organic chemistry is found in supramolecular chemistry. It is true to say that an understanding of the interactions between metal ions and ligands is at the basis of much contemporary supramolecular and metallosupramolecular chemistry.
