The title compound, [FePt(C12H10P)(C13H13Si)(C18H15P)2(CO)3]·0.5CH2Cl2, represents an example of a phosphido-bridged heterobimetallic silyl complex; these are inter-esting precursors for the coordination and activation of small unsaturated organic mol-ecules. The μ2-PPh2 ligand spans the iron and platinum atoms, which are connected via a metal-metal bond of 2.7738 (4) Å. In contrast to most oth...

Catalytic asymmetric Corey-Chaykovsky epoxidation of various ketones with dimethyloxosulfonium methylide using a heterobimetallic La-Li(3)-BINOL complex (LLB) is described. The reaction proceeded smoothly at room temperature in the presence of achiral phosphine oxide additives, and 2,2-disubstituted terminal epoxides were obtained in high enantioselectivity (97%-91% ee) and yield ( > 99%-88%) f...

s-Block heterobimetallic catalysts: Exploiting s-block cooperativity, the use of a potassium magnesiate for catalytic hydrophosphinylation styrenes has been developed.

The hydrothermal reaction of K(3)[Fe(CN)(6)], CuCl(2), and 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) resulted in the formation of a 2D cyanide-bridged heterobimetallic Fe(II)-Cu(I) complex, [Fe(bipy)(2)(CN)(4)Cu(2)], 1. Working in the same conditions, but using 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpym) instead of bipy and methanol as solvent, we obtained the homometallic Cu(I) complex [Cu(2)(CN)(2)(bpym)](2), 2. The structure of ...

Complexes of the general formula W[SNS]2M(dppe) (M = Pd, Pt; [SNS]H3 = bis(2-mercapto-p-tolyl)amine; dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) were prepared by combining the corresponding (dppe)MCl2 synthon with W[SNS]2 under reducing conditions. X-ray diffraction studies revealed the formation of a heterobimetallic complex supported by a single thiolate bridging ligand and a short metal-metal b...

The preparation, crystal structures and magnetic properties of the heterobimetallic complexes of formula [Mn(III)(n-MeOsalen)(H(2)O)(mu-CN)Fe(III)(bpym)(CN)(3)]·mH(2)O with n = m = 3 (1) and n = 4 and m = 2 (2) [n-MeOsalen(2-) = N,N'-ethylenebis(n-methoxysalicylideneiminate) dianion and bpym = 2,2'-bipyrimidine] are reported. 1 and 2 are dinuclear neutral species where the cyano-bearing low-spi...

The self-assembly of an equilateral triangle that is both heterobimetallic and heteroleptic, its metal exchange to a homometallic triangle and further ligand exchange (= edge of the triangle) were elaborated.

Isotopic enrichment and magnetic dilution influenced the performance of a 3d4f heterobimetallic single-molecule magnet in both zero applied field.

The mono- (1) and dinuclear (2) ruthenium(II) bis(2,2'-bipyridine) complexes of 2,5-di(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine (2,5-dpp), for which the UV/Vis absorption and emission as well as electrochemical properties have been described earlier, are reinvestigated here by resonance, surface enhanced and transient resonance Raman spectroscopy together with selective deuteration to determine the location of th...
