A new sequential metalation strategy that enables the assembly of a more robust reduced symmetry heterobimetallic [PdPtL 4 ] 4+ cage C is reported. By exploiting low-symmetry ditopic ligand ( L ) that...

Heterobimetallic polymers: the best of both worlds? The copolymers electrosynthesized in this work can benefit from conducting polymer structure and presence two metals. Their potential application sensing ascorbic acid was also explored.

Flexible anionic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are transformed into neutral heterobimetallic systems via single-crystal-to-single-crystal processes invoked by cation insertion. These transformations are directed by cooperative bond breakage and formation, resulting in expansion or contraction of the 3D framework by up to 33% due to the flexible nature of the organic linker. These MOFs display...

This work introduces the new trimetallic complex CoPd2(HBPDC)2Cl4·(H2O)4(H2BPDC = 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) as a highly efficient and more cost-effective catalyst for a Suzuki-Miyaura reaction proceeding in water, without additives and under aerobic conditions. Catalytic studies revealed a synergistic Co-Pd cooperativity, fostered by ligation through H2BPDC, and accounting for the...

By investigating the coordination chemistry of a neutral N-heterocyclic olefin phosphine ligand, a new digold(i) chloride complex was discovered, demonstrating that mixed element (P/C) donor sites can be accessed at the same time. However attempts to extend this strategy for the preparation of heterobimetallic complexes featuring copper(i) and gold(i) centers with this mixed donor ligand were u...

We report the generation and spectroscopic characterization of a heterobimetallic [(TMC)Fe(III)-O-Cr(III)(OTf)4] species (1) by bubbling O2 into a mixture of Fe(TMC)(OTf)2 and Cr(OTf)2 in NCCH3. Complex 1 also formed quantitatively by adding Cr(OTf)2 to [Fe(IV)(O)(TMC)(NCCH3)](2+). The proposed O2 activation mechanism involves the trapping of a Cr-O2 adduct by Fe(TMC)(OTf)2.

The preparation and applications of heterobimetallic complexes continue to occupy researchers in the fields of organometallic, main group, and coordination chemistry. This interest stems from the promise these complexes hold as precursors to materials, reagents in synthesis and as new catalysis. Here we survey and organise the state-of-the-art understanding of the TM-H-M linkage (M = Mg, Zn, Al...

The first heterobimetallic lactide ROP catalysts based on two divalent metals outperform the homobimetallic analogues, attributed to increased Lewis acidity of Mg or Ca (monomer coordination) and enhanced polarity Zn–Et/OR (propagation).
