Facile Preparation of Homo‐ and Hetero‐Dimetallic Complexes with a 4‐Phosphino‐Substituted NHC Ligand. Toward the Design of Multifunctional Catalysts

Abstract

A series of bimetallic complexes have been synthesized that are supported by a 4-phosphino-substituted NHC ligand. The use of this stable ligand reduces the number of synthetic steps and allows for a wide range of metal combinations to be introduced into the complexes.
