Transition-metal complexes continue to occupy a central position in inorganic and materials chemistrybecause their partially filled d-orbitals, variable oxidation states, and tunable coordination geometriespermit fine control over reactivity, selectivity, and physical response. However, the majority of existing systems rely on scarce and expensive noble metals (Ru, Pd, Pt), display limited recyclability, and are rarelyevaluated for combined catalytic and material functionality within a single molecular framework
