Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Coordination chemistry has a central role in supramolecular chemistry, allowing the development of sophisticated metal–organic assemblies with an amazing variety of geometries and shapes. The different coordination properties of metals combined with the large collection of ligands results in an endless number of possible compounds.

The multiple applications of coordination supramolecular chemistry include: fluorescent chemosensors for selective detection of cations, anions, and biomolecules through various co-ordinations in biology, physiology, pharmacology, and environmental sciences; the study of interactions of nucleic acids with small molecule ligands; the deveopment of drugs in anticancer therapy; molecular hosts for different analytes, etc.

Despite the progress made in the aforementioned field, several problems and challenges still exist. Nothing could be further from the truth, as we will always need ‘‘new’’ assemblies through different coordination.

This Special Issue will bring together publications in the field of coordination supramolecular chemistry. The publications will show the vast range of applications that can be achieved with coordination chemistry compounds. We welcome original research, reviews, mini reviews, and perspective articles.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The structural features and optical properties of supramolecular cyanoiron salts containing bis-pyridinium-4-oxime Toxogonin® (TOXO) as an electron acceptor are presented. The properties of the new TOXO-based cyanoiron materials were probed by employing two cyanoiron platforms: hexacyanoferrate(II), [Fe(CN)6]4– (HCF); and nitroprusside, [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2– (NP). Two water-insoluble inter-ionic donor–acceptor phases were characterized: the as-prepared microcrystalline reddish-brown (TOXO)2[Fe(CN)6]·8H2O (1a) with a medium-responsive, hydrochromic character; and the dark violet crystalline (TOXO)2[Fe(CN)6]·3.5H2O (1cr). Complex 1a, upon external stimulation, transforms to the violet anhydrous phase (TOXO)2[Fe(CN)6] (1b), which upon water uptake transforms back to 1a. Using the NP platform resulted in the water-insoluble crystalline salt TOXO[Fe(CN)5(NO)]·2H2O (2). The structures of 1cr and 2, solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, along with a comparative spectroscopic (UV–vis–NIR diffuse reflectance, IR, solid-state MAS-NMR, Mössbauer), thermal, powder X-ray diffraction, and microscopic analysis (SEM, TEM) of the isolated materials, provided insight for the supramolecular binding, electron-accepting, and H-bonding capabilities of TOXO in the self-assembly of these functionalized materials.

In this study, we investigated the structures of lanthanide (Eu(III), Dy(III), and Gd(III)) complexes with p-coumaric (p-CAH2) and caffeic (CFAH3) acids using the FTIRKBr, FTIRATR, and Raman spectroscopic methods. The compositions of the solid phase caffeinates and p-coumarates were obtained on the basis of the amounts of hydrogen and carbon determined using an elemental analysis. The degree of hydration and the thermal decomposition of each compound were examined via a thermal analysis of TG, DTG, and DSC. Antioxidant spectroscopic tests were performed using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant activity), and ABTS (2,2’-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (diammonium salt radical cation) methods. The antimicrobial activity of each compound against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans was investigated. The electrical properties of the liposomes which mimicked the microbial surfaces formed in the electrolyte containing the tested compounds were also investigated. The above biological properties of the obtained complexes were compared with the activities of p-CAH2 and CFAH3. The obtained data suggest that lanthanide complexes are much more thermally stable and have higher antimicrobial and antioxidant properties than the ligands (with the exception of CFAH3 in the case of antioxidant activity tests). The Gd(III) complexes revealed the highest biological activity among the studied lanthanide complexes. Full article
