Abstract

Abstract : The importance of scorpionate ligands in modern coordination chemistry continues to increase, because of their outstanding versatility, tunability and user‐friendliness. Herein, we provide a short overview of recent developments in the classes of scorpionate ligands, derived from pyrazoles, triazoles, imidazoles, oxazolines, thioimidazoles and other similar systems, followed by an in‐depth discussion of a new type of robust and tunable scorpionate ligand, tris(2‐pyridyl)borates. The structure and synthesis of tris(2‐pyridyl)borate (Tpyb) ligands are discussed, and key features of coordination of Tpyb ligands with metal ions, as well as supramolecular crystal packing, transmetallation and applications in metallo‐supramolecular polymer chemistry are addressed.
