Abstract
Terpyridine-lanthanide (tpy-Ln) metallo-supramolecular polymers have garnered significant attention in supramolecular chemistry, coordination chemistry and materials science on account of the rigid structure, tunable electronic properties and strong coordination ability of tpy, as well as the unique electronic configuration and remarkable optical, magnetic properties of lanthanides. Over the past decade, the development of tpy-Ln metallo-supramolecular polymers has experienced rapid growth. This review provides an overview of recent progress in tpy-Ln metallo-polymers, covering both crystalline structures and amorphous forms. We focus on the synthesis of these metallo-polymers, with particular emphasis on their structural diversity and self-assembly strategies. Notably, we highlight their promising applications as luminescent materials, chemical sensors, and magnetic materials. Ultimately, this review aims to inspire further exploration into the rational design and synthesis of functional tpy-Ln metallopolymers with enhanced structural precision and enriched functionality, paving the way for their integration into emerging technological applications.
期刊介绍:
Science China Materials (SCM) is a globally peer-reviewed journal that covers all facets of materials science. It is supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and co-sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The journal is jointly published monthly in both printed and electronic forms by Science China Press and Springer. The aim of SCM is to encourage communication of high-quality, innovative research results at the cutting-edge interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering. It focuses on breakthroughs from around the world and aims to become a world-leading academic journal for materials science.
