Recent developments in the thiamacrocyclic chemistry of the latter d-block elements

• Metal-ion chemistry of thia-containing macrocycles since 2006 is surveyed.
• Characteristic coordination modes of thia macrocycles are presented.
• Stablisation of less-common metal oxidation states is discussed.
• Other applications include metal-ion sensing and separation.

In this review we present the metal complexation chemistry of sulfur donor macrocyclic ligands since 2006, including mixed sulfur, nitrogen and/or oxygen systems with the latter d-block metal ions. Both discrete and polymeric systems are discussed.
