A study on aromatic carboxylic acids as ligands and receptors

Abstract

Coordination chemistry of metal carboxylates are of great interest due to its potential applications in material and biological chemistry Supramolecular architecture of metal carboxylates can be directly constructed with metal ions in various coordination geometries in combination with multifunctional ligands The directional and molecular recognition properties of carboxylic acids and its derivatives are controlled by supramolecular interaction like hydrogen bonding D D stacking weak electro
