Coordination polymers of sulphur-donor ligands

This review gives an account of the coordination polymers that can be attained with ligands containing the sulphur-based dithiocarbamate (dtc), dithiocarboxylate and xanthate functional groups. The coordination modes adopted by the different sulphur-based ligands are discussed, and methods of attaining higher dimension complexes outlined. The review also addresses potential applications of such materials. (C) 2013 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
