Joanna Ortyl’s lab at Cracow University of Technology makes molecules and materials that respond to light. And recently, when Ortyl was looking in a fume hood at fluorescent solutions in the lab, she ...

Coordination compounds, comprising central metal ions bound to various ligands, have emerged as a dynamic field of research owing to their versatile luminescence properties. These materials exhibit ...

Luminescent metallophilic complexes represent a burgeoning class of coordination compounds characterised by close-range, non-covalent interactions between d10 metal centres, such as gold(I), copper(I) ...

Researchers at Kyoto University and Tohoku University have developed a new porous polymer gel that selectively recognizes specific molecules (referred to as "guests" in the study) through coordination ...
