Terpyridine-based Self-assembled Heteroleptic Coordination Complexes

Coordination-driven self-assembly of metal ions and organic ligands has been extensively applied over the past few decades, towards construction various functional two-dimensional (2D) three-dimensional (3D) architectures. The majority these structures are homoleptic in nature, consisting one type ligand. However, functionality self-assembled complexes can be potentially increased by increasing their complexity. To address this, recent efforts have concentrated on synthesis heteroleptic composed more than This review article highlights developments 2,2?:6?,2??-terpyridine (tpy)-based coordination complexes. first part this collects examples tpy constructed a stepwise manner with metalloligands as primary components, one-pot strategies described second part. widely used two- Hence, substantial devoted to preparing
