Since the pioneering publications on coordination chemistry by Lehn
and Pedersen in the late 1960s, coupled with the more orthodox
interest from the transition metal chemists on template reactions
(Busch, 1964), the field of supramolecular chemistry has grown at
an astonishing rate. The use of transition metals as essential
constituents of multi-component assemblies has been especially
sharp in recent years, since the metals are prone to quick and
reversible redox changes, and there is a wide variety of
metal--ligand interactions. Such properties make supramolecular
complexes of transition metal ions suitable candidates for
exploration as light--energy converters and signal processors.
Transition Metals in Supramolecular Chemistry focuses on the
following main topics: (1) metal controlled organization of novel
molecular assemblies and shapes; (2) design of molecular switches
and devices operating through metal centres; (3) supramolecular
catalysts that mimic metalloenzymes; (4) metal-containing sensory
reagents and supramolecular recognition; and (5) molecular
materials that display powerful electronic, optoelectronic and
magnetic properties.
