Developing catalysts that utilize earth-abundant first-row transition metals is becoming an increasingly important area of study. Early/late heterobimetallic complexes provide a potential avenue to overcome the propensity of base metals to undergo one-electron processes…

Catalysis with Earth-abundant first-row transition metals is becoming a vital area of study…

The incorporation of two disparate Earth-abundant metals into a single complex has seen a surge in study over the past 15 years…

Cooperativity between and early and late transition metal in a heterobimetallic framework is a promising strategy to facilitate catalytic bond activation processes that are more typically observed for noble metals and may have the potential to uncover entirely new reactivity space…

The activation of element-hydrogen bonds is crucial to many processes related to both renewable energy, including water oxidation and ammonia oxidation. It has been well-documented that the coordination of small molecule substrates to a transition metal center weakens their element-hydrogen bonds…
