Abstract

Heterobinuclear catalysts capable of bimetallic cooperative bond activation provide an alternative pathway to approach the discovery of novel and unique reactivity and selectivity in catalytic transformations, complementing more traditional mononuclear precious metal catalysts. This review summarizes recent advances in homogenous catalysis using heterobimetallic carbonyl catalysts with polar metal–metal interactions.
