“…In particular, tridentate coordination mode (iii–a) is the most popular coordination fashion among them. For instance, tptz complexes of Mn(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(I), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Ru(II), Rh(III), Ag(I), Os(II), Mn(II)/Mn(III), Mn(II)/W(V), M(III)/Ln(III) (M=Fe, Co; Ln=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb), and M 1 (II, III)/M 2 (V) (M 1 =Fe, Co, Cu; M 2 =Mo, W) have been widely reported in coordination mode (iii–a), ranging from mononuclear to polymeric complexes. In addition, the limited mononuclear tptz complexes of Cu(I), Ru(II), Rh(III), Re(I), and Ir(III) have been reported as another bidentate coordination mode (iii–b), together with dinuclear and polymeric tptz complexes of Cu(II) and Ag(I) containing coordination mode (iii–b).…”
