Multimetallic catalysis is based on the combined action of different metals in a chemical
transformation. It has witnessed rapidly increasing developments during the past decades in …

Significant progress has been made in the past 10–15 years on the design, synthesis, and
properties of multimetallic coordination complexes with heterometallic metal–metal bonds …

Transition metals can assemble to form multinuclear complexes by engaging in direct metal-
to-metal interactions. Metal–metal covalent bonds provide a large perturbation in electronic …

The ability of Lewis acids to coordinate to transition metals as σ-acceptor ligands was
recognized as early as in the 1970's, but so-called Z-type ligands remained curiosities until …

Transition metal complexes that combine electronically different metals are most readily
designed by combining an early transition metal and a late transition metal, typically via a …

The activation and functionalization of carbon dioxide entails great interest related to its
abundance, low toxicity and associated environmental problems. However, the inertness of …

At room temperature, the early/late heterobimetallic complex Co (i Pr2PNMes) 3Zr (THF) has
been shown to oxidatively add CO2, generating (OC) Co (i Pr2PNMes) 2 (μ-O) Zr (i …

Rate enhancements for the reduction of dioxygen by a MnII complex were observed in the
presence of redox-inactive group 2 metal ions. The rate changes were correlated with an …

Late-transition-metal-based catalysts are widely used in N2 fixation reactions, but the
reactivity of late-transition-metal N2 complexes, besides iron N2 complexes, has remained …

In the quest for active and selective catalysts featuring nonprecious metals, bimetallic
cooperativity poses a unique opportunity to promote catalytic reactions and influence …
