Objective
This journal is committed to the publication of original research and review articles, mini-reviews, and rapid communications within the field of main group metal and semi-metal chemistry. Main Group Metal Chemistry is an open-access, single-blind peer-reviewed journal that publishes in ongoing way. Papers addressing the theoretical, spectroscopic, mechanistic, and synthetic aspects of inorganic, coordination and organometallic main group metal and semi-metal compounds are welcome. The journal also publishes studies relating to environmental aspects of these metals, their toxicology, release pathways and fate. Articles on the applications of main group metal chemistry, including in the fields of polymer chemistry, agriculture, electronics and catalysis, are also accepted.

Main Group Metal Chemistry accepts manuscripts containing results about the chemistry of the following metals and semi-metals:

lithium to cesium,
beryllium to barium,
boron to thallium,
silicon to lead,
phosphorus to bismuth,
selenium and tellurium,
and also zinc, cadmium, and mercury.

Manuscripts exclusively containing results about the chemistry of transition metals will not be considered.

Article number: 20228042

Abstract

Two new Zn( ii ) coordination complexes [Zn(L)(dna)(H 2 O)] ( 1 ) and [Zn(L)(glu)] 2 ·H 2 O ( 2 ) (L = 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-1 H -imidazo[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline, H 2 dna = 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid, H 2 glu = glutaric acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, fluorescence spectrum, and infrared spectroscopy. For complex 1 , the dna 2− anion adopts μ 1 -η 1 :η 1 chelating bidentate mode to coordinate with one Zn( ii ) atom and π–π stacking interactions are formed between the L ligands. For complex 2 , glu 2− anions connect Zn( ii ) atoms to form a wavy two-dimensional layer, and the L ligands are attached on two sides of the two-dimensional layer.

Topological indices for random spider trees

Abstract

In this study, we characterize the structure and some topological indices of a class of random spider trees (RSTs) such as degree-based Gini index, degree-based Hoover index, generalized Zagreb index, and other indices associated with these. We obtain the exact and asymptotic distributions of the number of leaves via probabilistic methods. Moreover, we relate this model to the class of RSTs that evolves in a preferential attachment manner.
