Metal-organic materials with triazine-based ligands: From structures to properties and applications

Abstract： 

Triazine-based ligands, featuring C-3-symmetry configuration, electron-deficient and other triazine moiety determined characteristics, have facilitated the construction of a diverse set of metal-organic materials (MOMs, including discrete MOPs and distinct dimensional CPs). Therefore, over the past decades, MOMs with triazine-based ligands developed rapidly and drew tremendous attention in both chemistry and material fields. Here, the structural and functional diversity in MOMs achieved by the versatility of triazine-based ligand is systematically reviewed, and the potential applications of related MOMs in the areas of guest structure determination, luminescence, adsorption and separation, catalysis, drug delivery and magnetism are highlighted.
