The majority of these structures are homoleptic in nature, consisting of one type of ligand. However, the functionality of self-Assembled complexes can be potentially increased by increasing their complexity. To address this, recent efforts have been concentrated on synthesis of heteroleptic complexes composed of more than one type of ligand. This review article highlights the recent developments of 2,2 :6 ,2 -Terpyridine (tpy)-based self-Assembled heteroleptic coordination complexes. The first part of this review collects examples of heteroleptic tpy complexes constructed in a stepwise manner with metalloligands as primary components, and the one-pot strategies are described in the second part. ? 2021 Chemical Society of Japan.
