Frontier Advances of Terpyridine-Zn(II) Complexes: From Molecular Design to Smart Functional Materials.
Review in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
As one of the most important pincer coordination molecules, terpyridine (Tpy) metal complexes have emerged as a vibrant research frontier in coordination chemistry, catalysis and materials science due to their unique chelation versatility and modular structural tunability. In particular, Tpy-Zn complexes exhibit exceptional photochemical and photophysical characteristics, low toxicity, and self-assembly propensity, making them a novel and versatile platform for functional material design. This review comprehensively summarizes the design strategies of various Tpy-Zn complexes and their corresponding materials, including discrete molecular complexes, supramolecular assemblies (e.g., gels, metal organic frameworks, cages) and their composites, while highlighting their recent advances in three key domains: (1) visual molecular recognition and sensing, (2) stimuli-responsive smart functional materials, and (3) photocatalytic organic transformations. Additionally, remaining synthetic obstacles, unresolved controversies in structure-property relationships, and future perspectives for the development of novel Tpy-Zn complexes are thoroughly discussed. This review aims to establish a rational design paradigm for next-generation Tpy-Zn-based functional materials, thereby providing in-depth mechanistic insights and sparking their innovative applications functional materials science.
