Metal complexes not only play an essential role in various technologies and industries, but they are also serving with efficiencies in the fields of catalysis, medicine, dye, agrochemicals, polymers, and other important materials for human society. They have been used from antiquity to recent times, with advancements in their synthesis and characterization. Recently, sustainable synthetic techniques like microwave synthesis, sonochemical synthesis, and grinding assisted microwave synthesis have become advanced methods. Sustainable inorganic complex-based materials are also being developed due to their specific properties and mechanisms compared to synthesized organic compound-based materials. Characterization techniques, such as spectroscopic, crystallographic, computational methods, etc., play a pivotal role in elucidating the structural and electronic properties of metal complexes. Inorganic complexes have potential to solve problems like drug resistance in the medicinal field, target drug delivery in cancer therapy, catalysts for pollutants degradation in pollution control, and also for cost effective production of renewable energy. Thus, they are not only efficient materials for the present but also for the future. By examining recent literature, the present review provides a comprehensive summary of innovative green synthetic methodologies, advanced sustainable characterization techniques, and emerging applications in catalysis, materials science, and medicinal chemistry. Additionally, future directions and potential avenues of coordination compounds for further exploration in the dynamic field of coordination chemistry have been discussed. |
