Abstract Using previously established salt‐metathesis procedures at low temperature, heterobimetallic ate complexes Li 6 Eu II ( n ‐Bu) 8 (thf) and 3 Y III i 4 could be synthesized their solid‐state structures analyzed by X‐ray diffraction. Recently described complex Y( was probed as a precursor in protonolyses with various amines, revealing distinct reaction pathways. Identified products compr...

Phosphinoamide ligands have been utilized to link a Co(I) center to a Nb or Ta imido fragment. The resulting heterobimetallic complexes, ICo(Ph(2)PN(i)Pr)(3)M=N(t)Bu, have weakened dative metal-metal interactions as a result of the strongly donating imido ligand. These complexes can be reduced by 2 electrons to generate dinitrogen-bound complexes.

Increasing dimensionality [from 2D (1) to 3D (2)] and T(C) [from 10 (1) to 20 K (2)] in two new oxamato-bridged heterobimetallic Mn(II)(2)Cu(II)(3) open-frameworks result from the steric hindrance provided by the different alkyl substituents of the N-phenyloxamate bridging ligands.

The thermolysis of a heterobimetallic Sn-Co organometallic precursor resulted in the formation of hollow Sn/CoOx nanomaterials through galvanic reaction between metal species. The Sn/CoOx nanohollows with 6.1 nm diameter and ~1.5 nm shell thickness showed excellent lithium storage capacity of up to 857 mA h g(-1) after 30 cycles.

Nickel-manganese oxides with variable Ni : Mn ratios, synthesised from heterobimetallic single-source precursors, turned out to be efficient water oxidation catalysts. They were subjected to oxidant-driven, photo- and electro-catalytic water oxidation showing superior activity and remarkable stability. In addition, a structure-activity relation could be established.

The reactivity of heterobimetallic Zr/Co complexes linked by phosphinoamide ligands towards the oxidative addition of I(2) and alkyl halides is reported. These reactions are accompanied by dissociation of one phosphine ligand from Co and eta(2)-coordination to Zr. Addition of H(2) leads to both oxidative addition across the M-M bond and P-N bond cleavage.

Controlling the stoichiometry of supported bimetallic nanoparticles is essential in many catalytic reactions, notably selective CO2 hydrogenation. Thus, a new strategy to ensure preferred (1:1) PdZn presented, involving deposition heterobimetallic precursor, [PdZn(μ-OOCMe)4]2 on CeZrOx support. After calcination and reduction, material contained mainly alloy, as revealed by powder XRD XAFS, fur...
