Abstract
N-Donor tetrazole (TZ) derivatives possess physicochemical features, such as good thermostability/chemical stability, abundant coordination modes, high dipole moment, high formation enthalpy, basicity and acidity, as well as fluorescence/luminescent and magnetic behaviors, which make them widely utilized in both academic and industrial fields, namely in medicinal/biological chemistry, coordination chemistry and materials science. This review shows the progress in the synthesis, structures, features, catalytic applications and activities of copper coordination compounds derived from TZ derivatives, including coordination polymers (CPs) as versatile functional metal–organic materials.
