Abstract

The non-covalent assemblies among multiple non-identical metal complexes have scopes to develop a new subject area. There are infinite numbers of ways for different combinations among inorganic neutral or ionic complexes. Each partnering species of those molecular complexes would also have diversities by changing metal ions, ligands, oxidation states of metal ions, and coordination numbers. Keeping a view of the emergence of framework materials and self-assembled nano-structures of metal complexes, the non-covalently linked assemblies of inorganic molecular complexes would have scopes for new nano-dimensional materials. This account provides a systematic description of the different inorganic molecular complexes for a concerted effort to develop a new area that would have importance in applied materials.
