A versatile route to homo- and hetero-bimetallic 5f–5f and 3d–5f complexes supported by a redox active ligand framework

Abstract

U(bis-salophen)] with metal halides provides an entry to the synthesis of well-defined homobimetallic uranium-uranium and rare heterobimetallic uranium-cobalt and uranium-nickel complexes supported by a redox-active dinucleating ligand.
