A Cadmium(II) complex with unusual geometry

This work describes the synthesis and characterization of a new coordination compound based on cadmium. The study of the interactions between the zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) and biomelecules is a very interesting field due to its many applications in, for example,...

New polyfluorinated liquid crystals

Presently, liquid crystals are compounds of great interest due to their applications mainly in the fields of electronics and optics (displays). Molecules that form them must show thermal, chemical and photochemical stability. Moreover, these compounds must exhibit liquid crystal behaviour for a...

Ligands that contain fluorine

Metallic complexes are molecuar structures where a metal is surrounded by other atoms or molecules with negative electric charge. These atoms or molecules that surround the metal are called ligands. UAB researchers are studying a kind of ligands that they have applications in agrochemistry and...
