Abstract:
Bifunctional catalysts, in which two functionalities cooperate in substrate activation and transformation, promote a number of chemical and biological reactions quite efficiently. This perspective mainly describes our efforts to extend the concept of the metal/NH bifunctional mononuclear catalysts to dinuclear systems. The late transition metal dinuclear complexes with bridging sulfonylated nitrogen donors and parent amides (NH(2)) are focused on particularly, while the chemistry of related nitrogen-bridged polynuclear complexes is also mentioned.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
