Published data on the synthesis, structure, properties Published data on the synthesis, structure, properties and applications of metal derivatives of tetrazoles are generalised and applications of metal derivatives of tetrazoles are generalised and described systematically. Compounds based on the anionic and described systematically. Compounds based on the anionic and neutral tetrazole forms, and neutral tetrazole forms, C C-and -and N N-mono-and -mono-and C C, ,N N-disubsti--disubstituted tetrazoles are considered. The bibliography includes 464 tuted tetrazoles are considered. The bibliography includes 464 references references. . ReceivedDepending on the reaction conditions, meta-and para-5,5 Hphenyleneditetrazoles 25 react with Cd, Zn and Mn(II) salts to give essentially different, as regards both composition and structure, complexes 26, 27, 44 28, 45 29. 46 The structures of compounds 26 ± 29 were determined by X-ray diffraction. Compounds 26 ± 28 in which the doubly charged anions derived from tetrazole 25 function as bridges are two-and three-dimensional coordination polymers. Conversely, compound 29 is a mononuclear aqua complex containing no metal ± tetrazole coordination bond. In the structure of complex 28, one-dimensional channels were found which occupy up to 35% of the void volume and encapsulate tetrameric cyclic water clusters and DMF molecules. On heating to 150 8C, water and DMF are removed from the channels, which accounts for the interest of researchers in this type of compound for the preparation of inclusion compounds and sorbents. A coordination polymer with a composition similar to complex K + 7

A novel ligand, 5-mercaptomethyltetrazole, is applied to the direct colloidal synthesis of highly luminescent (quantum yield of up to 60%) water-soluble CdTe nanocrystals. In the synthesis the 5-mercaptomethyltetrazole behaves analogously to the widely used thioglycolic acid, providing the additional advantage of solubility of the resulting nanocrystals in methanol. Moreover, the 5-mercaptomethyltetrazole-capped nanocrystals possess the unique ability to reversibly form fine 3D networks (hydrogels) upon the addition of metal salts.
