About This Topic
The first recorded scientific observation of an inorganic coordination compound (complex ion [Cu(NH3]4]2+) was made by Andreas Libavius in 1597. However, modern coordination chemistry starts its history from the seminal works of Alfred Werner who formulated theory of coordination compounds used in our days. Since that time, coordination chemistry has transformed into one of the most fundamental fields among the chemical sciences. Metal complexes – the primary subjects of coordination chemistry – represent a vast group of chemical species with extremely broad application in all fields of chemistry and chemical industry including but not limiting by pharmacology, catalysis, and new materials with valuable properties.
The Special Issue “Coordination Chemistry and Metal Complexes” will cover all aspects related to these research field and type of compounds. The previously unpublished manuscripts reporting experimental and/or theoretical studies on the synthesis, characterization, application of coordination compounds, reaction mechanisms, and the development of new synthetic methods and strategies involving or leading to metal complexes are welcome.
In addition, papers in our special issue allow open access, retained copyright, through rigorous peer-review, free of charge and fast publication if it is officially accepted.

Theoretical investigation of the single and double ionization spectra of M(CO)6, M = W and CrAbstract In this work, we study the single and double ionization spectra of the , with complexes by applying the four-component algebraic diagrammatic construction and Fock-space coupled cluster methods to extend earlier studies based on less demanding approaches. The computed single and double ionization potentials are in good agreement comparing [...] |
Synthesis of Tris(arylphosphite)-ligated Cobalt(0) Complexes [Co2(CO)6{P(OAr)3}2], and their Reactivity towards Phenylacetylene and DiphenylacetyleneAbstract The dinuclear complexes [Co2(CO)6{P(OAr)3}2] (1a, Ar = Ph; 1b, Ar = o-Tol) were prepared and reacted with PhC≡CH and PhC≡CPh to yield dimetallatetrahedranes [{(ArO)

Abstract The compound, [cis-dichloro-(tris-2-amino(ethylamine))cobalt(III)]chloride hydrate, [cis-Cl2-(tren)Co(III)Cl]·H2O, a conglomerate crystallizing in P21 with Z = 4 (Z’ = 2), has been used as a precursor in the synthesis of a new dicobalt(III) peroxo complex: [(μ2-hydroxo)(μ2-peroxo)bis(tris-2-amino(ethylamine))di-cobalt(III)] tris(triiodide [...] |
1-Decylbenzimidazole Copper(II) Complexes: Combined Experimental and DFT PCM and TD-DFT Computational StudiesAbstract 1-Decylbenzimidazole (dbim) copper(II) complexes formed during solvent extraction were thoroughly studied, and their structures were predicted. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of their structures and Time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations of their spectra indicated that 1-decylbenzimidazole forms both mono- and binuclear complex [...] |
A Preparation and Structural Characterization of the Hydrated Trifluoride Salt of the [Co(NH3)6]3+ Cation: [Co(NH3)6]F3 · 2H2O. The Unexpected Preparation of [Co(NH3)6](BF4)(SiF6) from Pyrex Glass, and the Syntheses and Structures of (NH4)[Co(NH3)6](BF4)2(2Cl) and of (NH4)[Co(NH3)6]2(SiF6)3(Cl) · 3H2OAbstract It is historically interesting to note that, whereas the [Co(NH3)6]3+ cation was isolated by Tassaert in 1798 (which he described as the tri-chloride) and that, in the early days of Coordination Chemistry, Jørgensen and Werner isolated many of its other salts, the fluoride [...] |

Vanadium: Biological, Environmental, and Engineering AspectsAbstract Vanadium is an element that is widely distributed in Earth’s crust as well as in sea-water and ground-water reservoirs. Therefore, it exerts a great influence on the issues related to life and environment. Vanadium is utilized by several marine organisms. For example, there are vanadate-dependent haloperoxidases in algae and several bacteria [...] |
