Photo-induced electron transfer reactions are crucial for many of the biological and chemical reactions that occur in nature. According to Marcus and others, electronic coupling between an electron donor and acceptor must be nonzero, for a successful electron transfer reaction. [1] Several studies are performed in order to have a better understanding of the photoinduced intramolecular electron...
Due to their vast applications monometallic coordination polymers (CPs) have increasingly attracted the interest of various fields over the last years.$^{[1]}$ We focus on using heterofunctional ligands to synthesize heterobimetallic CPs, combining the properties of two metals in one homogenous material.$^{[2]}$ Our stepwise approach includes the synthesis of a metalloligand and, afterwards,...

Supported by an established synthetic strategy towards optical materials protein containers and nanoparticles are used. With protein containers as building blocks,...
The two tartaric acid derivatives dibenzoyltartaric acid (DBTA) and di-para-toluoyltartaric acid (DPTTA) are common compounds in organic chemistry and pharmaceutical science, where they mostly function as derivatisation agents or as chiral templates. There are currently about 250 crystal structures featuring either of the acids deposited in the CCDC [1]. While the compounds are decent...
The field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is dominated by the chemistry of oxygen and nitrogen donor based ligands.$^{[1]}$ Next to no work revolves around polytopic ligands containing phosphorus donors.
The usage of phosphorus widens the horizon of MOF chemistry. It may broaden the structural variety, enable new applications and stabilize metal cations in low oxidation states that were...
