Abstract

Novelty, aesthetic appeal and the promise of a wide range of applications drive the current surge of interest in discrete metal-organic coordination complexes. This review covers achievements in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of these multinuclear complexes in the years 2011-2013. Examples of their structural interconversion within dynamic combinatorial libraries are also presented.
