title: Syntheses and applications of furanyl-functionalised 2,2':6',2''-terpyridines.
abstract: Different synthetic routes leading to terpyridines functionalised with furan heterocycles are reviewed. The methodologies used to prepare such compounds include the ring closure of 1,5-diketones and cross-coupling reactions. These versatile terpyridines and their derived metal complexes find applications in various fields including coordination chemistry, medicinal chemistry and material sciences.
