In recent years, the utilization of terpyridines both in macromolecular structure assembly and device chemistry has exploded, enabling, for<br> example, supramolecular polymer architectures with switchable chemical and physical properties as well as novel functional materials<br> for optoelectronic applications such as light-emitting diodes and solar cells. Further applications include the usage of terpyridines and their<br> metal complexes as catalysts for asymmetric organic reactions and, in a biological context, as anti-tumor agents or biolabels. This book covers terpyridine-based materials topics ranging from syntheses, chemistry, and multinuclear metal complexes, right up to functionalized polymers, 3D-architectures, and surfaces. Aimed at materials scientists, (in)organic chemists, polymer chemists, complex chemists, physical chemists, biochemists, and libraries.
