By using a carbon-based substrate, the spin-crossover behavior can be preserved even for molecules that are in direct contact with a solid surface.

A sol–gel route for ternary lithium fluorides of transition metals (𝘔) is presented allowing the synthesis of Li₃𝘔F₆-type and Li₂𝘔F₅-type compounds.

Copper(I/II) complexes of varying nuclearity have been obtained with a series of tetrapodal pentadentate N-donor ligands.

A variety of substituted tris(pyridyl) frameworks, as well as a pentakis(pyridine) system, are conveniently accessible in a one-pot synthesis.

A novel N₅ ligand L imposes distorted coordination geometries on first-row transition metal ions. L readily forms complexes with ferrous but not ferric iron.

A pyridine-derived tetraphosphane ligand (donor set: NP₄) has been found to undergo specific C–P bond cleavage, thereby producing a ligand with an NP₃ donorset.

We present a new two-step synthesis of the similarly substituted 5-hydroxy-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-2-carboxamide using succinyl cyanide.

Dimethyl 5-aminoisophthalate, a building block of amino-substituted tetralactam macrocycles, was used as gold(I) ligand for macrocyclic gold model complexes.
