Additional information:
Bimetallic cooperation is an effect of great importance in catalysis. The synergistic interplay of two metal centres are common features in catalytic systems ranging from metalloenzymes in nature to the field of heterogeneous catalysis. On the other hand, organometallic transition metal complexes and their application in homogeneous catalysis have long been dominated by monometallic reactivity. In this contribution, the prospects of molecularly well-defined bimetallic systems in homogeneous catalysis and cooperative effects brought about by the close proximity of two metals will be highlighted. Emphasis will be given to systems combining transition metals with those of the main group series and to mechanisms by which bond activation occurs across these bimetallic structures. The synergisms and opportunities of bimetallic cooperation will be illustrated by recent studies on the reactivity of well-defined Iron-Aluminium complexes.
