The work described in this Ph.D. thesis is the outcome of the ideas framed while studying the literature on the development in the area of coordination chemistry. It was aimed to synthesize and characterize some coordination compounds of first row transition metals incorporating the ligands viz., 1,2-diaminophenyl-N, N'-bis-(2-pyridenecarboxaldimine), N, N'-bis-(2-pyridenecarboxaldimine)-1,8-diamino-naphthalene, bis-(thiophene-2-carboxaldimine)-1,8-diaminonaphthalene

Metal-Organic Frameworks for Chemical Reactions: From Organic Transformations to Energy Applications brings together the latest information on MOFs materials, covering recent technology in the field of manufacturing and design. The book covers different aspects of reactions from energy storage and catalysts, including preparation, design and characterization techniques of MOFs material and applications. This comprehensive resource is ideal for researchers and advanced students studying metal-organic frameworks in academia and industry. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are nanoporous polymers made up of inorganic metal focuses connected by natural ligands. These entities have become a hot area of research because of their exceptional physical and chemical properties that make them useful in di?erent ?elds, including medicine, energy and the environment. Since combination conditions strongly a?ect the properties of these compounds, it is especially important to choose an appropriate synthetic technique that produces a product with homogenous morphology, small size dispersion, and high thermal stability.
