A large and diverse number of transition-metal coordination numbers and geometries can be used in the construction of coordination-driven assemblies, giving access to different topologies rather difficult to obtain with the classical synthetic methods. The synthetic process is under thermodynamic control when relatively labile metal centers are used (true supramolecular self-assembly), while it is under kinetic control with inert metals (unless high temperatures are used). 

Transition metal oxides, rare earth oxides and various metal complexes deposited on their surface are typical phases of DeNO catalysts that lead to redox properties. For each of these phases, complementary tools exist for a proper characterization of the metal coordination number, oxidation state or nuclearity. Among all the techniques such as EPR [80], UV-vis [81] and IR, Raman, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and NMR, recently reviewed [82] for their application in the study of supported molecular metal complexes, Raman and IR spectroscopies are the only ones we will focus on. The major advantages offered by these spectroscopic techniques are that (1) they can detect XRD inactive amorphous surface metal oxide phases as well as crystalline nanophases and (2) they are able to collect information under various environmental conditions [83], We will describe their contributions to the study of both the support (oxide) and the deposited phase (metal complex).

Although the study of sulfur dioxide-transition metal coordination chemistry is an area of relatively recent intensive pursuit, structural information now spans a large number of stereochemically distinct coordination situations. The types of M-SO2 binding which have been identified, excluding insertion compounds and compounds containing SO2 bridging metal centers, are shown in Fig. 1. Several examples of complexes containing each type... 

Coordination to metals follows the usual trends. The transition metals try to achieve octahedral coordination (with a few exceptions), but the cations of the electropositive group 1-3 elements exhibit a rich variety. The coordination polyhedra are determined by radius ratios more than by topological preferences. For polyphosphides in general, all P atoms are involved in M-P interactions according to the number of lone pairs present. The anionic (lb)P and (2b)P as well as the neutral (3b)P° species adopt quasi-tetrahedral coordination, especially if main-group cations are involved. Only a few exceptions are known, for example Li3P7. With more covalent M-P bonds, the number (m + n) of available lone pairs of a polyanion P " is strongly related to the metal coordination number that is, CN(M) < m + n). If CN(M) > m + n), ion-ion and ion-dipole interactions dominate. The relation <7[M-(2b)P] > <7[M-(3b)P] is true in most cases.

Thus in 7r-ligand substitution a change in metal coordination number rather than direction of electron density shift in the transition state is quite significant. 

A large number of covalently linked systems are currently being synthesized and investigated, differing in the nature of A, B, and L, as well as in the number of functional units in the supramolecular system (nuclearity). It is common to call simple two-component donor-acceptor systems such as that of Eq. 2 dyads , and progressively more complex systems triads , tetrads , pentads , etc.. Systems where all the A and B units are organic molecules are dealt with in Chapter 1 of this section. The present chapter deals with systems where at least one of the A/B functional units is a transition metal coordination compound. From this definition, however, are excluded (a) systems where A and/or B are porphyrins or related species (dealt with in Chapter 2) and (b) systems of high nuclearity with dendritic structures (dealt with in Chapter 9). 

These compounds enjoy a number of advantages over their organic counterparts, in particular, one-pot reactions, high yields, spectroscopic, electronic, and magnetic properties, which are inaccessible with organic species [20,21], Furthermore, the use of transition metal coordination has been explored by Lehn and co-workers and many others. The new strategy was successfully used for the construction of molecular racks [1,22], ladders [1,11,23], grids [1,11,24,25], squares [7,26,27], cylinders [11,28], molecular boxes [29], catenanes [13,15,30], rotaxanes [31], knots... 

First transition metal coordination compounds with bidentate bispidine ligands were described in 1957 (30). The initial report with metal complexes of tetradentate bispidine ligands dates back to 1969 (31). Following these early reports, there have been a number of studies on the complexation properties of several bipidine derivatives (32-35). However, extensive, broad, and thorough studies of the bispidine coordination chemistry began only <10 years ago. These studies will be reviewed here. They include structural and theoretical work, spectroscopy, electron-transfer studies, metal ion selective complexation, and applications in biomimetic chemistry, catalysis, and molecular magnetism.
