Structural Adjustments of Zn(II)‐Terpyridine Analogues by Pendent of Coligand: Solvothermal Syntheses, Crystal Structure, and Photophysical Behavior

“…[6][7][8][9] As expected, the resulting terpyridine-derived metal complexes with discrete mononuclear entity, dimeric rectangular molecular box, one-dimensional double-chain, and threedimensional frameworks have been generated, exhibiting highly selective fluorescent sensing for pyrophosphate, tunable white emissions, and photocatalytic water splitting performance resulting significantly from the ligand-centered charge transfer and/or interligand πÀ π Interactions. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] However, the structural diversity of the crystalline terpyridine-based metal complexes or extended coordination polymers is still a great challenge, and more efforts should be devoted by either adopting more efficiently synthetic strategies or incorporating with the second ligand to achieve synergistic coordination.…”
