摘要
Metal-ligand coordination is one of the most important interactions used in supramolecular chemistry. Oligopyridine ligands can coordinate with many transition metal ions and form stable complexes with unique magnetic, photophysical and electrochemical properties, so transition metal complexes based on terpyridine ligands have been attracting considerable attention. This review systematically summarizes the assembly methodologies for terpyridine ligand and its derivatives and the photophysical and photochemical properties of terpyridine transition metal complexes, including monotopic, ditopic and multitopic terpyridine ligands and mononuclear, multinuclear complexes with various topologic structures, such as linear metal oligomers, metallopolymers, metallomacrocyclic compounds and organic-metal dendrimers. Meanwhile, the perspectives in their applications and studies are also emphasized.
