- Abstract:
- This critical review summarizes the research progress made in the field of p-conjugated
terpyridines within the last decade. Supramolecular materials based on metal ion complexes
of 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine derivatives have found manifold potential applications—from
opto-electronic devices to life science. In this contribution, synthetic strategies towards
p-conjugated terpyridines and their incorporation into advanced supramolecular architectures
are evaluated. Applications as photoactive species in, e.g., photovoltaic devices, polymer
light-emitting diodes (PLEDSs) and nanotechnology are discussed comprehensively
(523 references).
