Keth, Jennifer | Johann, Tobias | Frey, Holger
Even 150 years after their discovery, hydroxamic acids are mainly known as the starting material for the Lossen rearrangement in textbooks. However, hydroxamic acids feature a plethora of existing and potential applications ranging from medical purposes to materials science, based on their excellent complexation properties. This underrated functional moiety can undergo a broad variety of organic transformations and possesses unique coordination properties for a large variety of metal ions, for example, Fe(III), Zn(II), Mn(II), and Cr(III). This renders it ideal for biomedical applications in the field of metal-associated diseases or the inhibition of metalloenzymes, as well as for the separation of metals. Considering their chemical stability and reactivity, their biological origin and both medical and industrial applications, this Perspective aims at highlighting hydroxamic acids as highly promising chelators in the fields of both medical and materials science. Furthermore, the state of the art in combining hydroxamic acids with a variety of polymer structures is discussed and a perspective regarding their vast potential at the interface of bioinorganic and polymer chemistry is given.
