- Transition metal complexes featuring a Lewis acidic main group metal (or element) within their coordination sphere (heterobimetallics) have emerged as promising candidates for developing new catalytic processes. Such heterobimetallics almost exclusively employ Group 13 elements and typically exploit a ligand framework that constrains the metal centres in close proximity. This work is significant because it demonstrates facile formation of a non-Group 13 heterobimetallic with a direct metal-metal bond and no constraining ligand holding the metals together. The successful activation of hydrogen, often crucial in catalysis, highlights the potential of this alternative approach to heterobimetallic catalysis and bond activation.
