Popis: While dipyrrin-boron complexes (BODIPYs) and their derivatives have attracted much attention, dipyrrin-based metal complexes recently appeared as a novel luminescent material. So far, dipyrrin-metal complexes have been regarded as non-luminescent or weakly luminescent. Interestingly, introduction of steric hindrance at the meso-position and the development of heteroleptic complexes with proper frontier orbital ordering are two recent strategies that have been developed to improve their luminescent ability. Compared with BODIPYs, one of the distinctive advantages of dipyrrin-metal complexes is that they can form a series of self-assembled supramolecules and polymer assemblies via facile coordination reactions. In recent times, several supramolecular, coordination polymers and Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have been developed, [Formula: see text] by spontaneous coordination reactions between dipyrrin ligands and metal ions. As a novel luminescent material, dipyrrin-metal complexes have been applied in many fields. This review article summarizes recent developments in dipyrrin-metal complexes from the viewpoint of the improvement of luminescent ability, the formation of supramolecular and coordination polymers and their potential applications.
