New inorganic-organic hybrid structures based on metal complexes have become of increasing interest over the last few decades in the search for new materials. The combination of macromolecular and supramolecular chemistry has been attempted by developing metal-complexing and metal-containing polymers for a wide variety of applications that range from basic science to advanced optoelectronic materials. The stability of the metal-containing polymers is a fundamental requirement for such applications. In this respect, using bi- and terpyridines as chelating ligands is highly promising because when these molecules combine with transition metals are known as the highly stable complexes and with interesting physical properties. During the last few years, many efforts have been made to the novel materials along with their intelligent and the tunable properties from the self-assembling to the supramolecular polymers. Here is the overview of metal-containing polymers based on using bipyridine and terpyridine as chelating ligands and their potential application towards new materials.
