Abstract: This survey describes recent achievements in creating a new type of materials – nanodiamonds grafted with atoms of transition metals. Structural features of some selected chelate complexes studied by density functional theory, their scope and limitations as well as possible applications are discussed. Using the example of copper ions, their location relative to subsurface defects of detonation diamond is investigated by the method of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR).

Keywords: Nanodiamonds, 3d/4f-metals, Chelate complexes, Density functional theory, Magnetochemistry, Electron paramagnetic resonance.
