Structural design of polymeric coordination compounds through formation of ligands in situ by hydrothermal route

Abstract

The field of molecular materials has experienced a tremendous development during the last two decades. Coupled with the need to obtain new systems with interesting properties has made of hydrothermal synthesis a basic tool in the planned construction of supramolecular architectures. This article is devoted to the design and properties of some multi-dimensional coordination compounds, placing a special emphasis on the study of the magnetic interactions between the metal centers through the bridging ligands synthesized within hydrothermal reactions.
