Click-derived multifunctional metal complexes for diverse applications

Abstract

The Click reaction that involves Cu(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) serves as the most potent and highly dependable tool for the development of many complex architectures. It has paved the way for the synthesis of numerous drug molecules with enhanced synthetic flexibility, reliability, specificity and modularity. It is all about bringing two different molecular entities together to achieve the required molecular properties. The utilization of Click chemistry has been well demonstrated in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions that involve biocompatible precursors. In pharmaceutical research, Click chemistry is extensively utilized for drug delivery applications. The exhibited bio-compatibility and dormancy towards other biological components under cellular environments makes Click chemistry an identified boon in bio-medical research. In this review, various click-derived transition metal complexes are discussed in terms of their applications and uniqueness. The scope of this chemistry towards other streams of applied sciences is also discussed.
