Click chemistry could help to synthesize a variety of molecules quickly and reliably by piecing together small units. In particular, it emphasizes the development of new combinatorial chemistry methods based on the synthesis of carbon-heteroatomic bonds and the simple and efficient acquisition of molecular diversity through these reactions. In this way, it can free scientists from complex molecular synthesis and enable them to focus on the bottom-up linkage of functional modules. However, the different application scenarios in various fields also put forward new requirements for click chemistry.
