Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

More than three centuries have passed since Prussian blue was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined in the twentieth century as coordination polymer. Currently, coordination polymers, especially multidimensional ones considered metal–organic frameworks, are regarded as a novel group of porous materials. The specific features of metal centers and diverse bridging ligands leads to the formation of polymeric metal complexes with different dimensionality, various topologies, and physicochemical properties. Their unusual structures are usually accompanied by interesting functional properties that make these metal complexes an attractive group of novel inorganic–organic materials with a very wide spectrum of potential applications. Evolution of synthesis methods as well as construction of new ligands creates more possibilities for designing and obtaining coordination polymers with programmed structural and physicochemical properties.

This Special Issue is dedicated to coordination polymers based on various building blocks with different dimensionality and properties. The focus is especially on the non-conventional methods of their synthesis, as well as structural, spectroscopic, and thermal investigations, along with investigations of their functional properties, for the development of novel materials.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.

Abstract
A series of new Ag(I) complexes with 2,6-bis[(imidazol-2-yl)thiomethyl]naphthalene (L) and a range of counterions (X−) such as PF6− (1, 2), SbF6− (3), and CF3SO3− (4 [...] Read more.
A series of new Ag(I) complexes with 2,6-bis[(imidazol-2-yl)thiomethyl]naphthalene (L) and a range of counterions (X−) such as PF6− (1, 2), SbF6− (3), and CF3SO3− (4) was prepared. As shown by SCXRD studies, all of these are 1D coordination polymers with a waved chain motive and general formula {[AgL]X}n. Two methanol solvates containing PF6− (1) and SbF6− (3) counterions are isostructural. The triflate counterion leads to the formation of a topologically equivalent structural motive, with a different conformation of the ligand in the 1D chain and a different crystal packing as a result of the presence of another set of intermolecular interactions. The presence of water in 2 leads to a significant change in the conformation of the ligand. The naphthalene rings show a different orientation towards the imidazole rings, which is energetically less favorable but is stabilized by an extended net of intermolecular interactions with the counterion, which leads to an efficient crystal packing.

Abstract
We studied the synthesis and crystal structures of a new two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymer, {FeII(1-Ethyl-imidazole)2[NiII(CN)4]}n (1), and one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers, {FeII(1-benzyl-imidazole)4[NiII(CN)4]}n ( [...] Read more.
We studied the synthesis and crystal structures of a new two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymer, {FeII(1-Ethyl-imidazole)2[NiII(CN)4]}n (1), and one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers, {FeII(1-benzyl-imidazole)4[NiII(CN)4]}n (2) and {FeII(1-Allyl-imidazole)4[NiII(CN)4]}n (3). Compound 1 has a 2D sheet structure, which is a traditional Hofmann-like structure. In compound 1, an octahedral FeII ion is coordinated with the nitrogen atoms of the [NiII(CN)4] planar unit at equatorial positions and monodentate imidazole derivatives at axial positions. The layers construct a parallel stacking array. Compounds 2 and 3 have a 1D chain structure. In compounds 2 and 3, the FeIIN6 coordination environment is formed with four imidazole ligands and two [NiII(CN)4]2− metalloligands. In the [NiII(CN)4]2− unit, two CN substituents act as bidentate ligands that form infinite –Ni–C–N–Fe–N–C–Ni– chains. Herein, we discuss the systematic design of polymeric dimensionality.
