• Recent advances in the coordination chemistry of benzotriazole-based ligands (2019) · Coordination Chemistry Reviews · cited 58× · doi

  In the present review we have attempted to report recent advances in the use of benzotriazole and its derivatives as ligands in coordination chemistry through a series of highlighted exam- ples. During the presentation of compounds in the above sections, large emphasis was paid towards displaying the role of benzotria- zolates in the design and assembly of the structures, as well as the application potential of the resulting complexes. We feel that the reported examples clearly demonstrated these points. From the studies mentioned in this review it is evident that such ligands are suitable for many research purposes that concern coordination chemists: Synthetic-wise, benzotriazolate linkers can provide (i) multiple N- (and in some cases, even O-) donor atoms, (ii) a variety of bridging and/or chelating coordination modes, (iii) the possibility to form weak interactions, (iv) a general ease of chemistry (e.g., solubility in common organic solvents, air and thermal stability) and (v) excellent efficiency either as main or as secondary ligands. This flexibility, along with their ease of prepara- tion and low cost of starting material, has made these molecules very attractive for the construction of multiple networks and archi- tectures that feature a range of metals (including main-group ele- ments, transition metals and lanthanides) and, more importantly, the desired stability, dimensionality and applications. Indeed, the synthesis of stable polynuclear coordination clusters with note- worthy magnetic properties is easily achieved using Hbta or simi- lar C-substituted derivatives. On the other hand, researchers interested in porous CPs and their sorption properties will be more intrigued by the potential of linkers such as H2btca or the various Hbta/co-ligand systems and benzo(bis)triazole analogues. Lower- dimensionality, less-rigid frameworks that provide increased flex- ibility and easier manipulation are also possible through the use of N-substituted bis(benzotriazole) ligands, while BTP derivatives are instead ideal for the synthesis of well-defined 0D complexes; a ser- ies of remarkable catalytic systems has been developed using sev- eral compounds of both of these categories. It is felt that great advances have been made in the design and understanding of such coordination compounds, as shown by the plethora of relevant studies. However, we believe that the field still has plenty of room for improvement in regards to developing and maximizing their application properties. The majority of the more recent studies described in this review include attempts to exploit this potential and generate functional materials, rather than pre- senting simple structural reports; it is therefore expected that future research will continue that trend. Some of the possible directions could involve (i) efforts to expand the MII and MIII/Hbta synthetic systems towards additional polynuclear coordination clusters; having the existing literature in mind, it can be hypothe- sized that the resulting motifs, nuclearities and magnetic proper- ties might be influenced by the use of various metal sources, mixed metal systems or different synthetic conditions, (ii) the emergence of new, targeted benzo(bis)triazolate ligands in order to generate CPs with larger pores and explore their properties, (iii) deeper investigations into the catalytic potential of com- pounds containing relevant ligands, and further optimization of the performance of existing catalysts; this can be done refining parameters such as coordination environment, metal species and geometry. More organic reactions could also be explored, including the fields of asymmetric catalysis and photocatalysis, (iv) an increased focus on the biological applications of suitable com- plexes: targeted compounds may be tested for their antimicrobial activity or drug delivery capabilities. Finally, the design of coordi- nation environments that mimic the behaviour of other known enzymes is certainly another intriguing approach with excellent potential. Having been used as a powerful synthetic auxiliary by organic chemists for several decades, benzotriazole is also proving to be an excellent tool for coordination chemists, offering exciting possibilities for the future. It is hoped that this review will provide inspiration to researchers during their efforts in the constant search and development of novel functional materials.
