✦ Synopsis

The vigorous development of Nanotechnology and Nanoscience has induced a more intense study on coordination compounds built on metal surfaces of different types, such as flat surfaces, electrodes and nanoparticles. Both self-assembled coordination compound and metal surface tend to modify their properties in such a degree that even new ones can arise. In this review the state-of-art of this new field in Coordination Chemistry is analyzed. Especial attention has been given to the general procedures used to build coordination compounds on metal surfaces.
