1 Preface Perspectives in Coordination Chemistry on the Occasion of the 40th anniversary of the LCC-CNRS, Toulouse, France

The Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (LCC, Coordination Chemistry Laboratory) in Toulouse (France) is a dedicated CNRS laboratory, created in 1974 by the French Academician Fernand Gallais. We are very proud to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the LCC by this special issue of Coordination Chemistry Reviews, but we are also deeply saddened for the loss of our colleague and friend Guy Lavigne while this special issue was being elaborated.

Research at LCC focus on fundamental and applied aspects of molecular transition-metal chemistry and hetero-elements chemistry. Objectives include fundamental and theoretical aspects of Chemistry: coordination, activation and catalysis, nanosciences and materials for the future, and contributions to life sciences. This special issue has been written exclusively by researchers pertaining to the 15 research teams of the LCC. However, it is not a direct report on our research activities in coordination chemistry, as it aims at displaying a large palette of properties and uses related to the vast world of coordination chemistry, and to give perspectives in the field.

This special issue begins with reflections by C. Lepetit, R. Chauvin et al. on the nature of the dative bond, illustrated with different types of compounds, in particular related to the coordination of carbon derivatives. This paper is followed by two reviews concerning specific types of ligands. C. Lorber presents imido-bridged complexes of titanium and vanadium, whereas A. Igau et al. present the non-classical anionic phosph(in)ito (“phosphoryl”) ligands.

The second part of this special issue concerns bonds activation and catalysis, illustrated in three different reviews. S. Bontemps shows that despite the high thermodynamic stability of carbon dioxide, boron derivatives can mediate the activation of CO2, affording valuable derivatives. E. Deydier, A. Labande, et al. demonstrate the usefulness of asymmetric catalytic reactions with transition metals for the synthesis of axially chiral biaryl compounds such as the well-known BINAP and BINO, and also products presenting a pharmaceutical interest such as Vancomycin. D.A. Valyaev, N. Lugan, and the late G. Lavigne present an overview of manganese organometallic compounds, an abundant and biocompatible metal, which have important properties as homogeneous catalysts. The third part of this special issue concerns materials, including molecular materials, multifunctional materials, and nano-objects, and the study of their properties. First, an overview of coordination chemistry on carbon surfaces, including fullerenes, to afford materials with catalytic, electronic or luminescent properties, is given by P. Serp et al. Then three reviews display specific properties of molecular materials. C. Pichon, J.P. Sutter, et al. illustrate recent developments of molecular magnetic anisotropy in two- to eight-coordinated transition metal complexes, for single-molecular magnets, but also for single-chain magnets. P.G. Lacroix et al. show that inorganic and organometallic complexes which exhibit second-order nonlinear optical properties, offer a greater versatility than the well-known organic chromophores. A. Bousseksou, G. Molnar, et al. afford achievements and prospects of switchable molecular materials used as active elements in addressable actuator devices. Finally, two reviews display the synthesis of nano-objects: C. Amiens, K. Philippot, et al. present metal nanoparticles and nanostructures synthesized from molecular metal complexes as metal sources and stabilized by coating ligands, whereas L. Valade et al. present the special case of TTF[Ni(dmit)2]2, used for the synthesis of thin layers, nanowires, and nanoparticles.

The fourth part of this special issue contains three reviews related to life science, and possible interactions with other fields. C. Hureau, E. Gras et al. show that metalloenzymes, or coordination complexes incorporated into biomolecules such as DNA, apo-enzymes, proteins and peptides are promising for advances in catalysis. G. Pratviel shows that metalloporphyrins have high affinity for double-stranded and G-quadruplex DNA, and are efficient oxidation catalysts, which might give access to particularly efficient DNAzymes. Finally, A.M. Caminade et al. show that dendrimers (organic nano-objects) which can carry coordination complexes as terminal groups, have biological properties (anti-cancer agents), have many useful catalytic properties and are usable in the field of materials.

In conclusion, taken altogether these 15 reviews issued from the LCC draw an impressionist and upto-date picture of coordination chemistry. This special issue illustrates the rich diversity of coordination chemistry, from fundamental research to green chemistry, smart materials, and health.
