What is the difference between coordination polymer, MOFs, MCOFs?

Wherever I have referred, it puts me in a dilemma about the exact differences between these. It would be really helpful if someone can put me out of this trouble.

Why does C=S have a higher chemical shift in 13C NMR over C=O; given oxygen is more electronegative?

In 13C NMR, we see that C=S resonates around 170-180 whereas C=O at 150-160 ppm. Given oxygen is more electronegative; shouldn't it be vice-versa?

Why is chorine considered as a ligand in coordination chemistry?

Given chlorine is an anionic ligand, there is a sharing of electrons between Cl and the metal ion (definition of covalent bonding). Can the bonding between be considered Co-ordinate? if so why?

Why are metal complexes readily soluble in chlorinated solvents?

Normally, polarity affects the solubility of a metal complex. However, my complex has excellent solubility in DCM and chloroform but is sparingly soluble in acetonitrile which has a higher dipole...

On hydrolysis, changes in UV-Vis spectrum is occurring but not in NMR and mass. Why is it happening?

For my organometallic complex of the type [RuCl2(Z)], where Z is a neutrally coordinated ligand, I am observing distinct changes in UV Visible spectrum upon hydrolysis (complex is added to water)....

How to interpret this UV-Visible spectra?

I am studying the hydrolysis of an organometallic complex in water, for which I obtained a time dependent spectra as attached. The spectra at 0th min and 10th min dont match or have an isobestic...

How do we distinguish between d-d and MLCT transistions?

For complexes, which have red/orange colour, the absorption for dd occurs nears 420-450 nm. However how do we know it is not MLCT but dd.

How can we tell if a ligand is pi-acceptor, sigma donor or vice versa?

For complex molecules with many heteroatoms, can we predict if the molecule is pi-acceptor or donor? Also if possible can someone suggest a good source to read more about these stuff in detail?

Is it possible for the ligand signals to remain unchanged in NMR for a monodentate neutral coordinated complex?

my NMR signals, both in 1H and 13C, vary only slightly in ligand and complex. However the metal precursor signals are present in the complex nmr along with the ligand signals. Is it possible?
