TLDR
The calculated degree of binding site organization for metal ion complexation afforded by these connecting structures is shown to correlate with known changes in complex stability caused by alkyl substitution of crown ether macrocycles.
Abstract
A novel approach is presented for the application and interpretation of molecular mechanics calculations in ligand structural design. The methodology yields strain energies that (i) provide a yards...

The role of donor group orientation as a factor in metal ion recognition by ligands

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of donor group orientation in polyamine and polyether ligand structures is investigated. Butler et al. focus on the last factor with a detailed discussion of how molecular mechanics has been used to investigate the role.

Strains and stresses in coordination compounds

TL;DR: In this paper, the possible ways to induce strain in coordination compounds and quantification of steric effects and their influence on molecular properties are discussed and methods that allow the prediction of these molecular properties based on experimentally determined or computed structures are described in detail.

Deliberate design of ligand architecture yields dramatic enhancement of metal ion affinity.

TL;DR: Molecular mechanics analyses show that the unfavorable enthalpic and entropic terms are eliminated by the use of the novel bicyclic architecture found in 3,9-diaza-3, 9-dimethylbicyclo[4.4.0]decane-2,10-dione (7).

Revised effective ionic radii and systematic studies of interatomic distances in halides and chalcogenides

TL;DR: The effective ionic radii of Shannon & Prewitt [Acta Cryst. (1969), B25, 925-945] are revised to include more unusual oxidation states and coordinations as mentioned in this paper.
