Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Molecules is dedicated to recent advances in inorganic chemistry and mainly comprises a selection of exclusive papers by the Editorial Board Members (EBMs) of the Inorganic Chemistry Section. While contributions from other authors will also be considered, this Special Issue focuses primarily on highlighting recent interesting investigations conducted in the laboratories of our Section’s EBMs, providing an attractive open access publishing platform for inorganic chemistry research data.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In the process of systematically studying the methylhydroxyiminoethaneamide bis-chelate ligands with polymethylene spacers of different lengths, L1–L3, and their transition metal complexes, a number of new Ni(II) and Cu(II) species have been isolated, and their molecular and crystal structures were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In all of these compounds, the divalent metal is coordinated by the ligand donor atoms in a square-planar arrangement. In addition, a serendipitously discovered new type of neutral Ni(II) complex, where the propane spacer of ligand L2 underwent oxidation to the propene spacer, and one of the amide groups was oxidised to the ketoimine, is also reported. The resulting ligand L2′ affords the formation of neutral planar Ni(II) complexes, which are assembled in the solid state on top of each other, and yield two polymorphic structures. In both structures, the resulting infinite, exclusively parallel metal ion columns in ligand insulation may serve as precursor materials for sub-nano-conducting connectors. Overall, this paper reports the synthesis and characterisation of seven new anionic, cationic, and neutral Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes, their crystal structures, as well as experimental and computed UV–Vis absorption spectra for two structurally similar Ni(II) complexes, yellow and red.
