Multi-metal coordination polymers grown through hybrid molecular layer deposition

Coordination polymers deposited by hybrid molecular layer deposition (MLD) techniques are of interest as highly conformal, functional materials. Addition of a second metal into these coordination polymers can result in...

Two Co(II)-based coordination polymers as multi-responsive luminescent sensors for detection of levofloxacin, benzaldehyde and Fe3+ ions in water media

Two new ternary metal coordination polymers (CPs), [Co(OBA)(L1)0.5]n (1) and [Co(HBTC)(L2)]n (2) (H2OBA = 4,4′-oxybis(benzoic acid)), H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, L1 = 1,3-bis(1-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)propane, L2 = 1,4-bis(benzimidazol-1-yl)-2-butene) were synthesized under the...

Nanocavity-enriched Co3O4@ZnCo2O4@NC porous nanowires derived from 1D metal coordination polymers for fast Li+ diffusion kinetics and super Li+ storage

Nanocavity-enriched Co3O4@ZnCo2O4@NC porous nanowires have been triumphantly prepared by two-step annealing processes of one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer precursor. Such unique nanowires with nanocavity-based porous channels can provide a large specific...

Porphyrin-based metal coordination polymers with self-assembly pathway-dependent properties for photodynamic and photothermal therapy

During the self-assembly process of porphyrin-based metal coordination polymers, two different nanoaggregates were discovered. The nanoaggregates exhibited pathway-dependent properties and showed different applications in phototherapy.
