Coordination polymers are attractive materials for various fields of practical application. The high degree of freedom of choice of metal ions and organic ligands plays a critical role in functional diversification.

Coordination polymers are attractive materials for various fields of practical application. The high degree of freedom of choice of metal ions and organic ligands plays a critical role in functional diversification. In the present study, we report the liquid–liquid interfacial synthesis of a 2D bis(terpyridine)copper(II) polymer thin film, Cu-tpy. The synthesized Cu-tpy was characterized by various microscopic observations such as TEM, SEM, and AFM, and spectroscopic measurements such as XPS, Raman spectroscopy, SEM/EDS, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. Synchrotron-radiated X-ray scattering confirmed that Cu-tpy was oriented crystalline films. Moreover, Cu-tpy showed electrochemical micro-supercapacitor behavior in the solid-state owing to its ionic nature. This study expands the potential of bis(terpyridine)metal(II) polymers as electro-functional materials. Full article

Stimulus-responsive luminescent materials are pivotal in the field of sensing. Fluorescent transition metal complexes with a charge transfer excited state, especially terpyridine-coordinated polymers, are of particular interest due to their tunable emission. In this paper, a novel bis-terpyridine ligand was synthesized and assembled into a coordination polymer, which showed intense visible light absorption and fluorescence emission in the solid state that could be regulated by an acidic or basic pH. After being protonated by acid, the fluorescence of the polymer P2 was quenched. The emission of the polymer split from 635 nm to two peaks of 674 and 440 nm, and then stabilized at 728 nm for 7 days, which showed a significant red-shift and good protonation stability. The fluorescence emission wavelength of the protonated polymers recovered after alkalization, and the fluorescence intensity of the polymer was greatly improved after alkalization, showing interesting acid–base-response luminescence characteristics. The sensitive response of the synthesized coordination polymers to acids and bases will contribute to expanding the application of linear coordination polymers in sensing and other fields.

In coordination chemistry, 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine is a versatile and extensively studied tridentate ligand. Terpyridine forms stable complexes with a variety of metal ions through coordination sites provided by the three nitrogen atoms in its pyridine rings. This paper presents an electrochemical study on various bis(terpyridine)osmium(II) complexes, addressing the absence of a systematic investigation into their redox behavior. Additionally, a computational chemistry analysis was conducted on these complexes, as well as on eight previously studied osmium(II)-bipyridine and -phenanthroline complexes, to expand both the experimental and theoretical understanding. The experimental redox potentials, Hammett constants, and DFT-calculated energies show linear correlations due to the electron-donating or electron-withdrawing nature of the substituents, as described by the Hammett constants. These substituent effects cause shifts to lower or higher redox potentials, respectively. Full article

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of two tritopic ligands containing a 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (tpy) metal binding domain and either a 3,2′:6′,3″- or a 4,2′:6′,4″-tpy domain are detailed. The synthetic routes to these ligands involved the [Pd(dppf)Cl2]-catalyzed coupling of a boronic ester-functionalized 2,2′:6′,2″-tpy with [...] Read more.
The synthesis and characterization of two tritopic ligands containing a 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (tpy) metal binding domain and either a 3,2′:6′,3″- or a 4,2′:6′,4″-tpy domain are detailed. The synthetic routes to these ligands involved the [Pd(dppf)Cl2]-catalyzed coupling of a boronic ester-functionalized 2,2′:6′,2″-tpy with bromo-derivatives of 3,2′:6′,3″-tpy or 4,2′:6′,4″-tpy. The 2,2′:6′,2″-tpy domains of the tritopic ligands preferentially bind Fe2+ in reactions with iron(II) salts leading to the formation of two homoleptic iron(II) complexes containing two peripheral 3,2′:6′,3″-tpy or 4,2′:6′,4″-tpy metal-binding sites, respectively. These iron(II) complexes are potentially tetratopic ligands and represent expanded versions of tetra(pyridin-4-yl)pyrazine. Full article

Photocatalysis is a rapidly evolving area of research in modern organic synthesis. Among the traditional photocatalysts, metal-complexes based on ruthenium or iridium are the most common. Herein, we present the synthesis of two photoactive, ruthenium-based complexes bearing pyridine-quinoline or terpyridine ligands with extended aromatic conjugation. Our complexes were utilized in the atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of haloalkanes to olefins, using bromoacetonitrile or bromotrichloromethane as the source of the alkyl group. The tailor-made ruthenium-based catalyst bearing the pyridine-quinoline bidentate ligand proved to be the best-performing photocatalyst, among a range of metal complexes and organocatalysts, efficiently catalyzing both reactions. These photocatalytic atom transfer protocols can be expanded into a broad scope of olefins. In both protocols, the photocatalytic reactions led to products in good to excellent isolated yields.

The 2,2′:6′:2″-terpyridine ligand has literally shaped the coordination chemistry of transition metal complexes in a plethora of fields. Expansion of the ligand bite by amine functionalities between the pyridine units in the tridentate N,N’-dimethyl-N,N’-dipyridine-2-yl-pyridine-2,6-diamine ligand (ddpd) modifies the properties of corresponding transition metal complexes, comprising redox chemistry, molecular dynamics, magnetism and luminescence. The origins of these differences between ddpd and tpy complexes will be elucidated and comprehensively summarized with respect to first row transition metal complexes with d2–d10 electron configurations. Emerging applications of these ddpd complexes complementary to those of the well-known terpyridine ligand will be highlighted. Full article
