Copper(I) complexes are gaining significant interest due to their wide range of applications in catalysis, nonlinear optics, fluorescence, and biochemistry. Their biochemical activities range from antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects to cytostatic and enzyme-inhibitory properties, with some showing promise as anticancer drugs. The crystal engineering of copper(I)-olefin complexes, particularly those involving allyl derivatives of heterocyclic compounds, has also been studied extensively. The presence of a C=C olefin bond in substituents attached to heterocyclic rings can facilitate selective coordination of transition metal ions through metal-olefin π-bonding. Allyl and pyridine derivatives turn out to be very effective ligands in coordinating with copper(I), enabling the construction of various inorganic fragments.
