This note covers the following topics: the role of crystallography
in understanding coordination compounds, the versatility of dpk and its
derivatives as ligands, the synthesis and analysis of triangular lanthanide
clusters, the coordination behavior of transition metals with dpk and its
derivatives, the synthesis and analysis of rare earth metal complexes, and
attempts to create bimetallic complexes using dpk derived ligands.
