Pyridyl and Terpyridyl Derivatives as Ligand Frameworks and Their Metal Complexes Recognition and Electrocatalytic Studies

Abstract

newline The design and synthesis of multifunctional compounds with newlinedesirable properties such as, recognition, AIEE properties, biological, newlineand electrocatalytic activity are the most challenging area of research newlinein modern chemistry. Compounds recognizing multiple analytes are in newlinehigh demand in chemical, biological and environmental processes. In newlinethis context, organic and inorganic compounds containing pyridine newlinering are versatile and have received much attention in the newlinefundamental and applied researches. newlinePyridine derivatives are very important compounds with newlinetremendous chemical and biological applications. The versatile newlineproperties of pyridine derivatives and their transition metal complexes newlinecontinue to attract considerable attention owing to the wide range of newlinepotential applications in catalytic activity, sensor systems, bioactivity newlineand optical materials. To achieve such targets, pyridine and newlineterpyridine derivatives have found interesting which act as probes for newlinethe recognition of several analytes and AIEgens. Their complexes with newlinetransition metals could act as metalloreceptors and electrocatalysts. newlineThus, based on these precedence, it was thought worthwhile to newlineinvestigate few novel pyridyl and terpyridyl derivative and their metal newlinecomplexes as receptor, AIEE properties and electrocatalysis. The newlineresearch work embodied in the thesis is classified into five chapters newlineincluding a brief introduction of pyridine and terpyridine derivatives newlineand summary of the work done.
