Catalysis continues to be a fast expanding area to design efficient tools in synthesis and in industrial chemistry. It allows performing syntheses with short reaction times, atom economy, reduced consumption of energy and loss of reagents, and low level of wastes. Dinuclear complexes are known to be more efficient than the mononuclear analogues for the reaction rates and the selectivities. Thus, it is important to analyze the concepts that allow building dinuclear complexes in which the metal-metal cooperative effect operates for obtaining activation and catalysis high performances.weiterlesen
