Copper- and Zinc-Based Coordination Polymers toward the Development of More Efficient Agrochemicals.

ABSTRACT: Inorganic agrochemicals have been used by the food industry for thousands of years to maximize production and quality, with copper(II) sulfate being one of the main used pesticides. Given the increasing global population (expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050) and the challenges facing agricultural production, there is a pressing need to address the impact of intensified agrochemical use (e.g., soil and water contamination, human health risk, pesticide resistance, etc.). Coordination polymers (CPs) as agrochemicals offer several significant advantages compared to traditional agrochemicals, such as the controlled release of the active ingredients in the target zone and reduced toxic doses released to environment. In this work, the plant growth regulator 3-indolepropanoic acid (IPA), which s
