Strapped heterobimetallic Hg(II)/Tl(I) porphyrin complexes, with both metal ions bridged by the N-core in a dynamic way, undergo spontaneous Tl(I)-to-Tl(III) oxidation leading to a mono-Tl(III) complex and a mixed valence Tl(I)/Tl(III) bimetallic complex. It provides a new opportunity to tune metal ion translocations in bimetallic porphyrin systems.

The title technique, high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR of suspensions, constitutes a powerful new tool for investigating the structures and mobilities of immobilized species and, thus, for optimizing heterobimetallic catalyst systems, such as the Sonogashira coupling of terminal alkynes and aryl halides.

In situ formation of heterobimetallic Pt-Ti catalysts enables rapid room temperature catalysis in enyne cycloisomerization reactions. The Lewis acidic titanium atom in the ligand framework is shown to be essential for fast catalysis. A range of enyne substrates are efficiently cyclized to carbocycles and heterocycles in high yield.

An easily-accessible neutral scandium complex Sc[OC(CH3)2CH2PPh2][O-2,6-tBu2-C6H3]2[THF] behaves as a reactive Sc/P frustrated Lewis pair, which when added to organic and inorganic substrates e.g. carbonyl compounds, transition-metal chlorides, and diazoalkane compounds, yields unique and intriguing addition products such as a Sc/Rh heterobimetallic complex and a Sc phosphazine complex.

The azanickellacyclic complex (1) produced by trimerization of an isocyanide on the nickel atom is found to be a new ethylene polymerization catalyst; catalytic activity is increased by incorporation of the second metal to a diimino moiety of 1 leading to formation of heterobimetallic complexes.

Ten homoleptic lanthanide containing 1D-coordination polymers, three heterobimetallic lanthanide/alkaline earth complexes as well two alkaline of the formula 1∞[Ln(2-PyPz)3], [Tb2AE(2-PyPz)8], and [AE(2-PyPz)2(2-PyPzH)2], Ln=La−Nd, Sm−Ho, AE=Ca, Sr, Ba were obtained by reactions (Ln) and/or metals (AE) with ligand 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole. Organic melt based solvothermal synthesis results in a red...

An unusual heterobimetallic volatile compound [Pb2Co5(acac)14] was synthesized by the gas phase/solid-state technique. The preparation can be readily scaled up using solution approach. X-ray powder diffraction, ICP-OES analysis, and DART mass spectrometry were engaged to confirm composition purity of complex. is unique among large family lead(tin): transition metal = 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 β-diketonates...

The formation of heterobimetallic complexes from parent cyclic trinuclear (CTCs) gold(I) has become straightforward in recent years with this team and others showing that the strategy leads to strengthened Au?M’ bonding optoelectronic properties. A new gold(I)-vinylimidazolate CTC, 1, was prepared highly emissive sandwich adducts soft metal cations Cu+, Ag+, Tl+, 2–4, respectively, investigated...
