Metal ions are ubiquitous in nature and play significant roles in assembling functional materials in fields spanning chemistry, biology, and materials science. Metal-phenolic materials are assembled from phenolic components in the presence of metal ions through the formation of metal-organic complexes. Alkali, alkali-earth, transition, and noble metal ions as well as metalloids interacting with phenolic building blocks have been widely exploited to generate diverse hybrid materials. Despite extensive studies on the synthesis of metal-phenolic materials, a comprehensive summary of how metal ions guide the assembly of phenolic compounds is lacking. A fundamental understanding of the roles of metal ions in metal-phenolic materials engineering will facilitate the assembly of materials with specific and functional properties. In this review, we focus on the diversity and function of metal ions in metal-phenolic material engineering and emerging applications. Specifically, we discuss the range of underlying interactions, including (i) cation-π, (ii) coordination, (iii) redox, and (iv) dynamic covalent interactions, and highlight the wide range of material properties resulting from these interactions. Applications (e.g., biological, catalytic, and environmental) and perspectives of metal-phenolic materials are also highlighted.
金属离子在自然界中无处不在，在化学、生物学和材料科学等领域的功能材料组装中发挥着重要作用。金属酚类材料是在金属离子存在下，通过形成金属有机配合物，由酚类成分组装而成。碱金属、碱土金属、过渡金属和贵金属离子以及与酚类结构单元相互作用的类金属已被广泛用于制备各种杂化材料。尽管对金属酚类材料的合成进行了广泛研究，但仍缺乏对金属离子如何引导酚类化合物组装的全面总结。对金属离子在金属酚类材料工程中的作用有一个基本的了解，将有助于组装具有特定功能特性的材料。在这篇综述中，我们关注金属离子在金属酚类材料工程中的多样性和功能以及新兴应用。具体来说，我们讨论了潜在相互作用的范围，包括（i）阳离子-π相互作用、（ii）配位作用、（iii）氧化还原作用和（iv）动态共价相互作用，并强调了这些相互作用产生的广泛材料特性。还重点介绍了金属酚类材料的应用（如生物、催化和环境方面）及前景。
