Polymetallic complexes linked to a single-frame ligand: cooperative effects in catalysis

Abstract

In an eco-friendly development, catalysis represents the key approach for converting raw materials into valuable products, particularly convenient for multi-step transformations. Mimicking Nature seems the smartest way to design poly-functional assemblies leading to the design of “synergic” catalysts. This perspective focuses on the advances in the conception of polymetallic catalysts bonded to a single ligand frame.
