Supramolecular functional materials featuring self‐healing properties are a fascinating class of materials that are currently attracting great interest. In this respect, use of dynamic metal–ligand bonds has received much less attention than other reversible interactions – either covalent bonds or noncovalent interactions. Nonetheless, systems and materials with enhanced and special functionalities might arise from the synergic combination of labile coordination bonds and the physicochemical properties – optical, magnetic, electrical, catalytic, and so on – associated with the presence of judiciously chosen metal ions or organic ligands. Here, advances in the field of healing and multi‐functional materials based on the reversible formation of metal‐ligand bonds are highlighted through a selection of key examples, including bioinspired ones.

动态金属-配体键作为自动修复多响应材料的支架

具有自我修复特性的超分子功能材料是一类引人入胜的材料，目前引起了人们的极大兴趣。在这方面，与其他可逆相互作用（共价键或非共价相互作用）相比，使用动态金属-配体键受到的关注要少得多。但是，不稳定的配位键和理化特性（光学，磁性，电学，催化等）的协同组合可能会产生具有增强的特殊功能的系统和材料，以及明智地选择的金属离子或有机配体的存在。在此，通过一系列关键实例（包括生物启发实例）突出了基于金属-配体键可逆形成的愈合和多功能材料领域的进展。
