Abstract
This research presents the first examples of heterometallic octahedral cluster complexes incorporating both 5d and 3d metals, specifically, tungsten and iron. The key compound, (TBA)2[FeW5Br14] (TBA = tetrabutylammonium), exhibits selective ligand substitution reactions at the iron site when exposed to various solvents. Several {FeW5}-type anions, namely, [FeW5Br14]2-, [FeW5Br13(L)]- (L = H2O, DMSO, CH3CN), and [(FeW5Br13)2O]4-, were revealed and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The redox properties of [FeW5Br14]2- were studied and compared with those of [W6Br14]2-. Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the bonding between Fe and W atoms is fundamentally different from the bonding between 4d (Mo-Mo) or 5d (W-W) metals in isotypic {M6} clusters.

Abstract
An inverse sandwich structure has been computationally predicted for uranium boride and extended to the series of actinide elements (An) from Th to Cm. The electronic structure and chemical bonding of these novel compounds have been analyzed using density functional theory and multireference wave-function based methods. We report the trends in electronic structure and bonding for An2B8, and found that (d-π)π and (d-p)δ are the most important factors in the stability of An2B8. The (f-p)δ bond provides extra stabilization for Pa2B8 and U2B8, owing to the extensive interactions of An-B8-An, resulting in a short distance for the Pa-Pa and U-U bonds.

Abstract
Metal-metal bonds constitute an important type of reactive centers for chemical transformation; however, the availability of active metal-metal bonds being capable of converting methane under mild conditions, the holy grail in catalysis, remains a serious challenge. Herein, benefiting from the systematic investigation of 36 metal clusters of tantalum by using mass spectrometric experiments complemented with quantum chemical calculations, the dehydrogenation of methane at room temperature was successfully achieved by 18 cluster species featuring σ-bonding electrons localized in single naked Ta-Ta centers. In sharp contrast, the other 18 remaining clusters, either without naked Ta-Ta σ-bond or with σ-bonding electrons delocalized over multiple Ta-Ta centers only exhibit molecular CH4-adsorption reactivity or inertness. Mechanistic studies revealed that changing cluster geometric configurations and tuning the number of simple inorganic ligands (e.g., oxygen) could flexibly manipulate the presence or absence of such a reactive Ta-Ta σ-bond. The discovery of Ta-Ta σ-type bond being able to exhibit outstanding activity toward methane conversion not only overturns the traditional recognition that only the metal-metal π- or δ-bonds of early transition metals could participate in bond activation but also opens up a new access to design of promising metal catalysts with dual-atom as reactive sites for chemical transformations.

Abstract
New Ru-Pd heterobimetallic complexes were synthesized and structurally characterized utilizing 6,6″-bis(phosphino)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine as a scaffold for the metal-metal bond. The dicationic Ru-Pd complex was found to exhibit high catalytic activity as a photocatalyst for photochemical reduction of CO2 to CO under visible light irradiation. This study established a new design of transition metal catalysts that tune photoredox catalysis with metalloligands.

Abstract
We report the preparation and characterization of the dinuclear AuII hydroxide complex AuII 2(L)2(OH)2 (L=N,N'-bis (2,6-dimethyl) phenylformamidinate) and study its reactivity towards weak X-H bonds. Through the interplay of kinetic analysis and computational studies, we demonstrate that the oxidation of cyclohexadiene follows a concerted proton-coupled electron transfer (cPCET) mechanism, a rare type of reactivity for Au complexes. We find that the Au-Au σ-bond undergoes polarization in the PCET event leading to an adjustment of oxidation levels for both Au centers prior to C(sp3)-H bond cleavage. We thus describe the oxidation event as a valence tautomerism-induced PCET where the basicity of one reduced Au-OH unit provides a proton acceptor and the second more oxidized Au center serves as an electron acceptor. The coordination of these events allows for unprecedented radical-type reactivity by a closed shell AuII complex.

Abstract
The electrochemical transition metal-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative reaction has emerged as a promising platform to achieve a sustainable and atom-economic organic synthesis that avoids hazardous oxidants and minimizes undesired byproducts and circuitous functional group operations. However, a poor mechanistic understanding still prevents the widespread adoption of this strategy. In this regard, we herein present an electrochemical palladium-catalyzed oxidative coupling strategy to access biaryls in the absence of a stoichiometric chemical oxidant. The robust palladaelectrocatalysis considerably suppresses the occurrence of homocoupling and oxygenation, being compatible even with electron-deficient arenes. Late-stage functionalization and Boscalid precursor synthesis further highlighted the practical importance of our electrolysis. Remarkably, mechanistic studies including the evaluation of the reaction order of each component by variable time normalization analysis (VTNA) and initial rate analysis, H/D exchange experiment, kinetic isotope effect, and stoichiometric organometallic experiments provided strong support for the involvement of transmetalation between two organopalladium complexes in the turnover limiting step. Therefore, matching the concentrations or lifetimes of two distinct organopalladium intermediates is revealed to be a pivot to the success of electrooxidative catalysis. Moreover, the presence of cationic copper(II) seems to contribute to the stabilization of the palladium(0) catalyst instead of playing a role in the oxidation of the catalyst.

Abstract
A metal-metal bond between coordination complexes has the nature of a covalent bond in hydrocarbons. While bimetallic and trimetallic compounds usually have three-dimensional structures in solution, the high directionality and robustness of the bond can be applied for on-surface syntheses. Here, we present a systematic formation of complex organometallic oligomers on Cu(111) through sequential ring opening of 11,11,12,12-tetraphenyl-1,4,5,8-tetraazaanthraquinodimethane and bonding of phenanthroline derivatives by multiple Cu atoms. A detailed characterization with a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations revealed the role of the Cu adatoms in both enantiomers of the chiral oligomers. Furthermore, we found sufficient strength of the bonds against sliding friction by manipulating the oligomers up to a hexamer. This finding may help to increase the variety of organometallic nanostructures on surfaces.

Abstract
Actinide-actinide bonding poses a challenge for both experimental and theoretical chemists because of both the scarcity of experimental data and the exotic nature of actinide bonding due to the involvement and mixing of actinide 7s-, 6p-, 6d-, and particularly 5f-orbitals. Only a few experimental examples of An-An bonding have been reported so far. Here, we perform a methodological study of actinide-actinide bonding on experimentally known Th2@C80 and U2@C80 systems. We compared selected GGA, meta-GGA, hybrid-GGA and range-separated hybrid-GGA functionals with the results obtained using a multireference CASPT2 method, which we consider as a reference point. We show that functionals such as BP86, PBE or TPSS perform well for predicting geometries, while range-separated hybrids are superior in the description of the chemical bonding. None of the tested functionals were deemed reliable regarding the correct electronic spin ground state. Based on the results of this methodological study, we re-evaluate selected previously studied diactinide fullerene systems using more reliable protocol.

Abstract
The reaction of 2,4-tBu2-6-(PPh2)PhOH (HOArP) with silver(I) triflate in a 3:1 molar ratio gave the mononuclear coinage metal complex (HOArP-κP)3AgIOTf (1). Treatment of HOArP with LnIII[N(SiMe3)2]3 (Ln = La, Sm, Y, Yb) in a 3:1 molar ratio yielded the mononuclear rare-earth metal complexes LnIII(OArP-κ2O,P)3 (2-Ln). The heterobimetallic rare-earth metal-silver complexes LnIII(OTf)(μ-OArP-1κ1O,2κ1P)3AgI (3-Ln) were prepared from monometallic precursors by reactions of equimolar amounts of 1 with LnIII[N(SiMe3)2]3 or 2-Ln with silver(I) triflate, respectively. The compounds were characterized by NMR, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and the effective magnetic moments of the paramagnetic complexes were determined via the Evans NMR method. Computational studies were conducted on 3-La and 3-Y.

Abstract
The structural, dynamical, electro-optical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics of the newly synthesized intermetallic compounds Ru4Al3B2 and Ru9Al3B8 have been studied under ambient and elevated pressure through density functional theory (DFT). The obtained lattice parameters of the compounds are consistent with the experimental values. The metallic character of these compounds is established by the band structure and density of states (DOS). The electronic charge density distribution and bond analysis imply that Ru4Al3B2 and Ru9Al3B8 have mainly both ionic and covalent bonding. The non-negative phonon dispersion frequency of the compounds reaffirms their dynamical stability. Both compounds are tough as well as have high melting points, and hence, can be applied in harsh conditions. Mechanical properties are significantly improved under pressure. Thermal barrier coating (TBC) is a possible field of application for both compounds. The different thermal properties such as the Debye temperature (ΘD), Grüneisen parameter (γ), melting temperature (Tm), minimum thermal conductivity (Kmin) and lattice thermal conductivity (κph) of these compounds have been studied to figure out the suitable application areas in thermally demanding situations. The pressure and temperature dependent bulk modulus (B) and other thermodynamic properties have also been analyzed, which suggested that the present compounds are strong candidates for device applications at high temperature and pressure. Owing to their high optical absorptivity and reflectivity in the UV region, they are also candidates for UV-based applications. Furthermore, they also have applicability in the fields of electronics, aviation, energy storage, and supercapacitor devices for their superior electronic, thermal and mechanical properties.

Abstract
Inspired by multimetallic assemblies and their role in enzyme catalysis, chemists have developed a plethora of heterobimetallic complexes for application in homogeneous catalysis. Starting with small heterobimetallic complexes with σ-donating and π-accepting ligands, such as N-heterocyclic carbene and carbonyl ligands, more and more complex systems have been developed over the past two decades. These systems can show a significant increase in catalytic activity compared with their monometallic counterparts. This increase can be attributed to new reaction pathways enabled by the presence of a second metal center in the active catalyst. This review focuses on mechanistic aspects of heterobimetallic complexes in homogeneous catalysis. Depending on the type of interaction of the second metal with the substrates, heterobimetallic complexes can be subdivided into four classes. Each of these classes is illustrated with multiple examples, showcasing the versatility of both, the types of interactions possible, and the reactions accessible.

Abstract
Two core-modified porphyrins containing metal atoms, namely platinum(II) or platinum(IV) and rhodium(III), in place of two NH units, have been obtained by a post-synthetic modification of the 21,23-ditelluraporphyrin. The products of the tellurium-to-metal exchange, 21-platina-23-rhodaporphyrins, incorporate rhodacyclopentadiene and platinacyclopentadiene units with the metal atoms facing each other. The two molecules exhibit different degrees of metal-metal interaction depending on the oxidation state of platinum, with the NBO bond order being 0.04 for platinum(IV) and 0.15 for platinum(II). Consistently, the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules analysis revealed the presence of the bond determinant, the bond critical point, in the platinum(II) species, in contrast to the platinum(IV) congener. The two porphyrinoids are interconvertible in redox reactions. They both exhibit fluxional behaviour in solution, studied by 1H NMR, involving alteration in the metal ion coordination sphere accompanied by the macrocyclic skeleton conformation change.

Abstract
The combination of molecular metallic fragments of contrasting Lewis character offers many possibilities for cooperative bond activation and for the disclosure of unusual reactivity. Here we provide a systematic investigation on the partnership of Lewis basic Rh(I) compounds of type [(η5-L)Rh(PR3)2] (η5-L = (C5Me5)- or (C9H7)-) with highly congested Lewis acidic Au(I) species. For the cyclopentadienyl Rh(I) compounds, we demonstrate the non-innocent role of the typically robust (C5Me5)- ligand through migration of a hydride to the Rh site and provide evidence for the direct implication of the gold fragment in this unusual bimetallic ligand activation event. This process competes with the formation of dinuclear Lewis adducts defined by a dative Rh → Au bond, with selectivity being under kinetic control and tunable by modifying the stereoelectronic and chelating properties of the phosphine ligands bound to the two metals. We provide a thorough computational study on the unusual Cp* non-innocent behavior and the divergent bimetallic pathways observed. The cooperative FLP-type reactivity of all bimetallic pairs has been investigated and computationally examined for the case of N-H bond activation in ammonia.

Abstract
Heteronuclear magnesium-iron carbonyl anion complexes MgFe(CO)4- and Mg2Fe(CO)4- are produced in the gas phase and are detected by mass-selected infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in the carbonyl stretching frequency region. The geometric structures and the metal-metal bonding are discussed with the aid of quantum chemical calculations. Both complexes are characterized to have a doublet electronic ground state with C3v symmetry containing a Mg-Fe bond or a Mg-Mg-Fe bonding unit. Bonding analyses indicate that each complex involves an electron-sharing Mg(I)-Fe(-II) σ bond. The Mg2Fe(CO)4- complex involves a relatively weak covalent Mg(0)-Mg(I) σ bond.

Abstract
There is growing interest in the design of bimetallic cooperative complexes, which have emerged due to their potential for bond activation and catalysis, a feature widely exploited by nature in metalloenzymes, and also in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we discuss the widespread opportunities derived from combining two metals in close proximity, ranging from systems containing multiple M-M bonds to others in which bimetallic cooperation occurs even in the absence of M⋯M interactions. The choice of metal pairs is crucial for the reactivity of the resulting complexes. In this context, we describe the prospects of combining not only transition metals but also those of the main group series, which offer additional avenues for cooperative pathways and reaction discovery. Emphasis is given to mechanisms by which bond activation occurs across bimetallic structures, which is ascribed to the precise synergy between the two metal atoms. The results discussed herein indicate a future landscape full of possibilities within our reach, where we anticipate that bimetallic synergism will have an important impact in the design of more efficient catalytic processes and the discovery of new catalytic transformations.

Abstract
Geometry configurations of the metallic clusters play a significant role in the involved bonding nature. Herein, we report the crystallographic characterization of unprecedented erbium-based trimetallic clusterfullerenes, namely, Er3C2@Ih(7)-C80, in which the inner Er3C2 cluster presents a lifted bat ray configuration with the C2 unit elevated by ∼1.62 Å above the Er3 plane. Within the plane, the Er···Er distances for Er1···Er2, Er1···Er2A, and Er2···Er2A are 3.4051(15), 3.4051(15), and 3.3178(15) Å, respectively, falling into the range of the metal-metal bonding. Density functional theory calculations unveil the three-center-one-electron Er-Er-Er bond in Er3C2@Ih(7)-C80 with one electron shared by three metals, and thus, its exceptional electronic structure can be expressed as (Er3)8+(C2)2-@C806-. Interestingly, with the further observation on the geometry configurations of the encapsulated clusters in M3C2@C2n (M = Sc, Y, and Lu) series, we find that the lifted bat ray configuration of the inner cluster is explicitly associated with the formation of the bonding interactions between the inner metals. This finding provides insights into the nature of metal-metal bonding and gives guidelines for the design of the single-molecule magnet.

Abstract
The new compound [(NC)Ru2(ap)4]2(μ-1,4-C6H4) (ap = 2-anilinopyridinate) was prepared to address the open question of whether a 1,4-phenylene bridge can mediate intermetallic electronic coupling. As a manifestation of strong coupling, hole delocalization between the Ru2 centers on the IR time scale (10-14 s) was established using spectroelectrochemistry. An orbital mechanism for coupling was elaborated with DFT analysis.

Abstract
Fluorinated tris(pyrazolyl)borate supporting ligands enable the stabilization of silver(I) bonded to a neutral, organometallic Fe(CO)5 ligand. The Ag-Fe interaction in these molecules is mainly electrostatic in nature, but σ-donor and backbonding contributions between the two metal fragments also play notable roles, which can be modulated by the scorpionate substituents.

Abstract
Low-valent transition metalates─anionic, electronic-rich organometallic complexes─comprise a class of highly reactive chemical reagents that find integral applications in organic synthesis, small-molecule activation, transient species stabilization, and M-E bond formation, among others. The inherent reactivity of such electron-rich metal centers has necessitated the widespread use of strong backbonding ligands, particularly carbonyls, to aid in the isolation and handling of metalate reagents, albeit sometimes at the expense of partially masking their full reactivity. However, recent synthetic explorations into transition-metalate complexes devoid of archetypic back-bonding ligands have led to the discovery of highly reactive metalates capable of performing a variety of novel chemical transformations.Building on our group's long-standing interest in reactive organometallic species, a series of rational progressions in early-to-middle transition-metal chemistry ultimately led to our isolation of a rhenium(I) β-diketiminate cyclopentadienide metalate that displays exceptional reactivity. We have found this Re(I) metalate to be capable of small-molecule activation; notably, the complex reversibly binds dinitrogen in solution and can be utilized to trap N2 for the synthesis of functionalized diazenido species. By employing isolobal analogues to N2 (CO and RNC), we were able to thoroughly monitor the mechanism of activation and conclude that the metalate's sodium counterion plays an integral role in promoting dinitrogen activation through a novel side-on interaction. The Re(I) metalate is also used in forming a variety of M-E bonds, including a series of uncommon rhenium-tetrylene (Si, Ge, and Sn) complexes that display varying degrees of multiple bonding. These metal tetrylenes act to highlight deviations in chemical properties within the group 14 elements. Our metalate's utility also applies to metal-metal bond formation, as demonstrated through the synthesis of a heterotetrametallic rhenium-zinc dimer. In this reaction, the Re(I) metalate performs a dual role as a reductant and metalloligand to stabilize a transient Zn22+ core fragment. Finally, the metalate displays unique reactivity with uranium(III) to yield the first transition metal-actinide inverse-sandwich bonds, in this case with three rhenium fragments bound through their Cp moieties surrounding the uranium center. Notably, throughout these endeavors we demonstrate that the metalate displays reactivity at multiple locations, including directly at the rhenium metal center, at a Cp carbon, through a Cp-sandwich mode, or through reversibly bound dinitrogen.Overall, the rhenium(I) metalate described herein demonstrates utility in diverse applications: small-molecule activation, the stabilization of reduced and/or unstable species, and the formation of unconventional M-E/M-M bonds or heterometallic complexes. Moving forward, we suggest that the continued discovery of noncarbonyl, electron-rich transition-metal anions featuring new or unconventional ligands should produce additional reactive organometallic species capable of stabilizing unique structural motifs and performing novel and unusual chemical transformations.

Abstract
"Xenophilic" complexes offer metal-metal bonds between disparate metal sites, but the nature of the metal-metal bonding is often unclear. Here, we describe two novel complexes with unsupported Fe-Fe bonds, Lx Fe-Fp (LX = β-aldiminate or β-diketiminate; Fp = Fe(CO)2 Cp), that offer insight into Fe-Fe bonding. Mössbauer, magnetism, and DFT analysis indicate that the most accurate electronic structure description is LFeII ←Fe0 (CO)2 Cp, in which the Fe(CO)2 Cp is low-spin iron(0) and acts as an X-type ligand toward the high-spin iron(II) of the LFe fragment. This largely electrostatic interaction has a bond order of only 0.5. The three-coordinate high-spin iron(II) site has large zero-field splitting, and in addition its Mössbauer parameters can be used to rank the Fp- "metalloligand" as a donor; it is nearly as strong a donor as phosphides and alkyls.

Abstract
Bond homolysis is one of the most fundamental bond cleavage mechanisms. Thus, understanding of bond homolysis influences the development of a wide range of chemistry. Photolytic bond homolysis and its reverse process have been observed directly using time-resolved spectroscopy. However, direct observation of reversible bond homolysis remains elusive. Here, we report the direct observation of reversible Co–Co bond homolysis using two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance exchange spectroscopy (2D EXSY NMR). The characterization of species involved in this homolysis is firmly supported by diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY NMR). The unambiguous characterization of the Co–Co bond homolysis process enabled us to study ligand steric and electronic factors that influence the strength of the Co–Co bond. Understanding of these factors will contribute to rational design of multimetallic complexes with desired physical properties or catalytic activity. We report the first direct observation of reversible bond homolysis using EXSY NMR. This study revealed that electron donating groups weaken the Co–Co bond.![]()

Abstract
We report the accurate computational vibrational analysis of the Cr-Cr bond in dichromium complexes using second-order multireference complete active space methods (CASPT2), allowing direct comparison with experimental spectroscopic data both to facilitate interpreting the low-energy region of the spectra and to provide insights into the nature of the bonds themselves. Recent technological development by the authors has realized such computation for the first time. Accurate simulation of the vibrational structure of these compounds has been hampered by their notorious multiconfigurational electronic structure that yields bond distances that do not correlate with bond order. Some measured Cr-Cr vibrational stretching modes, ν(Cr2), have suggested weaker bonding, even for so-called ultrashort Cr-Cr bonds, while others are in line with the bond distance. Here, we optimize geometries and compute ν(Cr2) with CASPT2 for three well-characterized complexes, Cr2(O2CCH3)4(H2O)2, Cr2(mhp)4, and Cr2(dmp)4. We obtain CASPT2 harmonic ν(Cr2) modes in good agreement with experiment at 282 cm-1 for Cr2(mhp)4 and 353 cm-1 for Cr2(dmp)4, compute 50Cr and 54Cr isotope shifts, and demonstrate that the use of the so-called IPEA shift leads to improved Cr-Cr distances. Additionally, normal mode sampling was used to estimate anharmonicity along ν(Cr2), leading to an anharmonic mode of 272 cm-1 for Cr2(mhp)4 and 333 cm-1 for Cr2(dmp)4.

Abstract
To exploit the magnetic interactions of multiple metals, a heterometallic one-dimensional (1D) chain containing three kinds of metals, Rh, Pt, and Mn, where [Rh2(O2CCH3)4] and [Pt2Mn(piam)4(NH3)4]2+ (piam = pivalamidate) are connected through unbridged Rh-Pt bonds to form -Rh-Rh-Pt-Mn-Pt- alignments was successfully synthesized. The Mn atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated by four oxygen atoms of the piam ligands, where the coordination geometries form a zigzag 1D chain. Each Mn atom is linked by -Pt-Rh-Rh-Pt-, with a Mn-Mn separation of 13.9 Å. In parent [Pt2Mn(piam)4(NH3)4](PF6)2, Mn adopts two coordination environments, octahedral and tetrahedral, both of which are Mn(+2) high-spin states. In EtOH, [Rh2(O2CCH3)4] selectively binds tetrahedral Mn to afford a 1D chain. Physical analysis of the 1D chain using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that all metals are divalent, indicating five unpaired spin-localized electrons on the Mn atoms. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicated antiferromagnetic intra-chain interactions between the Mn atoms in the 1D chain, where χT at 300 K was 5.33 cm3 K mol-1 and gradually decreased to 1.65 cm3 K mol-1 at 2 K. Theoretical fitting of the magnetic behavior showed weak exchange coupling (zJ = -0.43 cm-1) between two high-spin Mn(+2) ions through diamagnetic Pt-Rh-Rh-Pt.

Abstract
Redox reactions that take place in enzymes and on the surfaces of heterogeneous catalysts often require active sites that contain multiple metals. By contrast, there are very few homogeneous catalysts with multinuclear active sites, and the field of organometallic chemistry continues to be dominated by the study of single metal systems. Multinuclear catalysts have the potential to display unique properties owing to their ability to cooperatively engage substrates. Furthermore, direct metal-to-metal covalent bonding can give rise to new electronic configurations that dramatically impact substrate binding and reactivity. In order to effectively capitalize on these features, it is necessary to consider strategies to avoid the dissociation of fragile metal-metal bonds in the course of a catalytic cycle. This Account describes one approach to accomplishing this goal using binucleating redox-active ligands.In 2006, Chirik showed that pyridine-diimines (PDI) have sufficiently low-lying π* levels that they can be redox-noninnocent in low-valent iron complexes. Extending this concept, we investigated a series of dinickel complexes supported by naphthyridine-diimine (NDI) ligands. These complexes can promote a broad range of two-electron redox processes in which the NDI ligand manages electron equivalents while the metals remain in a Ni(I)-Ni(I) state.Using (NDI)Ni2 catalysts, we have uncovered cases where having two metals in the active site addresses a problem in catalysis that had not been adequately solved using single-metal systems. For example, mononickel complexes are capable of stoichiometrically dimerizing aryl azides to form azoarenes but do not turn over due to strong product inhibition. By contrast, dinickel complexes are effective catalysts for this reaction and avoid this thermodynamic sink by binding to azoarenes in their higher-energy cis form.Dinickel complexes can also activate strong bonds through the cooperative action of both metals. Norbornadiene has a ring-strain energy that is similar to that of cyclopropane but is not prone to undergoing C-C oxidative addition with monometallic complexes. Using an (NDI)Ni2 complex, norbornadiene undergoes rapid ring opening by the oxidative addition of the vinyl and bridgehead carbons. An inspection of the resulting metallacycle reveals that it is stabilized through a network of secondary Ni-π interactions. This reactivity enabled the development of a catalytic carbonylative rearrangement to form fused bicyclic dienones.These vignettes and others described in this Account highlight some of the implications of metal-metal bonding in promoting a challenging step in a catalytic cycle or adjusting the thermodynamic landscape of key intermediates. Given that our studies have focused nearly exclusively on the (NDI)Ni2 system, we anticipate that many more such cases are left to be discovered as other transition-metal combinations and ligand classes are explored.

Abstract
Half a century ago, F. Albert Cotton emphasized the relevance of metal-metal bonding in the constitution of cluster materials. Based on his description, nanoscale polyoxometalates (POMs) normally would not be regarded as cluster materials. One reason is that metal-metal bonding is typically associated with inorganic systems featuring metal centres in low oxidation states, a feature that is not common for POMs. However, over the past decades, there have been increasing reports on POMs integrating different types of metal-metal bonding. This article conceptualises and reviews the area of metal-metal bonded POMs, and their preparation and physicochemical properties. Attention is given to the changes in the electronic structure of POMs, the emergence of covalent dynamics and its impact on the development of applications in catalysis, nanoswitches, donor-acceptor systems, electron storage materials and nanoelectronics (i.e., "POMtronics").

Abstract
The development of complexes featuring low-valent, multiply bonded metal centers is an exciting field with several potential applications. In this work, we describe the design principles and extensive computational investigation of new organometallic platforms featuring the elusive manganese-manganese bond stabilized by experimentally realized N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). By using DFT computations benchmarked against multireference calculations, as well as MO- and VB-based bonding analyses, we could disentangle the various electronic and structural effects contributing to the thermodynamic and kinetic stability, as well as the experimental feasibility, of the systems. In particular, we explored the nature of the metal-carbene interaction and the role of the ancillary η6 coordination to the generation of Mn2 systems featuring ultrashort metal-metal bonds, closed-shell singlet multiplicities, and positive adiabatic singlet-triplet gaps. Our analysis identifies two distinct classes of viable synthetic targets, whose electrostructural properties are thoroughly investigated.

Abstract
Although dirhodium-catalyzed multicomponent reactions of diazo compounds, nucleophiles and electrophiles have achieved great advance in organic synthesis, the introduction of allylic moiety as the third component via allylic metal intermediate remains a formidable challenge in this area. Herein, an attractive three-component reaction of readily accessible amines, diazo compounds, and allylic compounds enabled by a novel dirhodium(II)/Xantphos catalysis is disclosed, affording various architecturally complex and functionally diverse α-quaternary α-amino acid derivatives in good yields with high atom and step economy. Mechanistic studies indicate that the transformation is achieved through a relay dirhodium(II)-catalyzed carbene insertion and allylic alkylation process, in which the catalytic properties of dirhodium are effectively modified by the coordination with Xantphos, leading to good activity in the catalytic allylic alkylation process.

Abstract
The excited-state reductive elimination (RE) activities of a metal-metal bonded PdIII2 complex, [(2-phenylpyridyl)Pd(μ-acetate)Cl]2, are described. The C-Cl bond-forming RE reaction is accelerated by up to five orders of magnitude upon visible photoexcitation, which induces the Pd-Pd bond dissociation. This ligand field variation reduces the energy cost for intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from coupling substrate to the metal center involved in the RE reaction. The correlation found between the ligand field and the RE activity indicates the ICT energy as a fundamental descriptor for RE reactions.

Abstract
It is challenging to efficiently remove arsenate (As(Ⅴ)) and chromate (Cr(Ⅵ)) simultaneously. Herein, ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) was fabricated with averaged pore diameter of 6.5 nm and surface area of 997 m2 g-1. Zerovalent iron (ZVI) impregnation reduced surface area of ZVI/OMC (432 m2 g-1) and increased ID/IG ratio by 13%. Maximal Cr(Ⅵ) and As(Ⅴ) sorption capacities at pH 3 were 0.66 and 0.019 mmol g-1 by OMC, and 0.71 and 0.39 mmol g-1 by ZVI/OMC, respectively. Reduction accounted for over 55% for Cr(Ⅵ) and As(Ⅴ) removal followed by complexation and precipitation. Better ZVI/OMC performance was ascribed to higher electron transfer rate and lower electrical resistance than OMC as per electrochemical analysis. Upon Cr(Ⅵ) introduction, As(Ⅴ) removal increased to 0.28 mmol g-1 by OMC, but decreased to 0.16 mmol g-1 by ZVI/OMC. OMC could preferably reduce CrO42- to Cr3+ by hydroxyl group, which enhanced its zeta potential facilitating As(Ⅴ) sorption. Regarding ZVI/OMC, Fe0 and Fe oxide in ZVI/OMC exhibited better affinity to As(Ⅴ), but the competition for the similar active sites resulted in compromised As(Ⅴ) and Cr(Ⅵ) removal. Thus, the novel OMC is advantageous for removal of binary As(Ⅴ) and Cr(Ⅵ), but ZVI/OMC is robust to detoxify single heavy metal.

Abstract
Reaction of the complexes [Fe2(μ2-NP(pip)3)2(NP(pip)3)2] (1-Fe) and [Co2(μ2-NP(pip)3)2(NP(pip)3)2] (1-Co), where [NP(pip)3]1- is tris(piperidinyl)imidophosphorane, with nitrous oxide, S8, or Se0 results in divergent reactivity. With nitrous oxide, 1-Fe forms [Fe2(μ2-O)(μ2-NP(pip)3)2(NP(pip)3)2] (2-Fe), with a very short Fe3+-Fe3+ distance. Reactions of 1-Fe with S8 or Se0 result in the bridging, side-on coordination (μ-κ1:κ1-E22-) of the heavy chalcogens in complexes [Fe2(μ-κ1:κ1-E2)(μ2-NP(pip)3)2(NP(pip)3)2] (E = S, 3-Fe, or Se, 4-Fe). In all cases, the complex 1-Co is inert.

Abstract
Lanthanide-transition metal complexes continue to be of interest, not only because of their synthetic challenge but also of their promising magnetic properties. Computational work examining the chemical bonding between lanthanides and transition metals in PyCp2Ln-TMCp(CO)2 (DyPyCp22- = [2,6-(CH2C5H3)2C5H3N]2-) reveals strong Ln-TM dative bonds. Gas-phase optimized geometries are in good agreement with experimental structures at the density functional theory (DFT) level with large-core pseudopotentials. From La to Lu, there is a small increase in the bond dissociation energy, as well as a decrease in Ln-Fe bond lengths. Energy decomposition analyses attribute this trend to an increase in the electrostatic contribution from the decreasing bond length and a modest increase in the orbital contribution. The natural bond orbital analysis clearly indicates that 3d6 "lone pairs" in the [FeCp(CO)2]- fragment act as a Lewis bases donating nearly 0.5 electron to Ln virtual orbitals of mainly d character. The interfragment bonding was also quantified by the quantum theory of atoms in molecules, which indicates that the Ln-Fe bond is more covalent than the Ca-Fe bond in the hypothetical CpCa-FeCp(CO)2 but less covalent than the Zn-Fe bond in the hypothetical CpZn-FeCp(CO)2. Further comparisons suggest that to the [PyCp2Ln]+ cation the [FeCp(CO)2]- anion appears much like a halide. Overall, these Ln-TM dative bonds appear to have strong electrostatic contributions as well as significant orbital mixing and dispersion contributions.

Abstract
We describe the preparation of the cis-bis(η1,η2-2,2-dimethylpent-4-en-1-yl)rhodate(I) anion, cis-[Rh(CH2CMe2CH2CH═CH2)2]-, and the interaction of this species with Li+ both in solution and in the solid state. For the lithium(diethyl ether) salt [Li(Et2O)][Rh(CH2CMe2CH2CH═CH2)2], VT-NMR and 1H{7Li} NOE NMR studies in toluene-d8 show that the Li+ cation is in close proximity to the dz2 orbital of rhodium. In the solid-state structure of the lithium(12-crown-4) salt [Li(12-crown-4)2][Li{Rh(CH2CMe2CH2CH═CH2)2}2], one lithium atom is surrounded by two [Rh(CH2CMe2CH2CH═CH2)2]- anions, and in this assembly there are two unusually short Rh-Li distances of 2.48 Å. DFT calculations, natural energy decomposition, and ETS-NOCV analysis suggest that there is a weak dative interaction between the 4dz2 orbitals on the Rh centers and the 2pz orbital of the Li+ cation. The charge-transfer term between Rh and Li+ contributes only about the 1/5 of the total interaction energy, however, and the principal driving force for the proximity of Rh and Li in compounds 1 and 2 is that Li+ is electrostatically attracted to negative charges on the dialkylrhodiate anions.

Abstract
Metal-only Lewis pairs (MOLPs) based on zinc electrophiles are particularly interesting due to their relevance to Negishi cross-coupling reactions. Zinc-based ligands in bimetallic complexes also render unique reactivity to the transition metals at which they are bound. Here we explore the use of sterically hindered [Pt(P t Bu3)2] (1) to access Pt/Zn bimetallic complexes. Compounds [(P t Bu3)2Pt → Zn(C6F5)2] (2) and [Pt(ZnCp*)6] (3) (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) were isolated by reactions with Zn(C6F5)2 and [Zn2Cp*2], respectively. We also disclose the cooperative reactivity of 1/ZnX2 pairs (X = Cl, Br, I, and OTf) toward water and dihydrogen, which can be understood in terms of bimetallic frustration.

Abstract
Heterobimetallic bismuth-rhodium paddlewheel complexes with phenylglycine ligands carrying TIPS-groups at the meta-positions of the aromatic ring exhibit outstanding levels of selectivity in reactions of donor/acceptor and donor/donor carbenes; at the same time, the reaction rates are much faster and the substrate scope is considerably wider than those of previous generations of chiral [BiRh] catalysts. As shown by a combined experimental, crystallographic, and computational study, the new catalysts draw their excellent application profile largely from the stabilization of the chiral ligand sphere by London dispersion (LD) interactions of the peripheral silyl substituents.

Abstract
Syntheses of the copper and gold complexes [Cu{Fe(CO)5 }2 ][SbF6 ] and [Au{Fe(CO)5 }2 ][HOB{3,5-(CF3 )2 C6 H3 }3 ] containing the homoleptic carbonyl cations [M{Fe(CO)5 }2 ]+ (M=Cu, Au) are reported. Structural data of the rare, trimetallic Cu2 Fe, Ag2 Fe and Au2 Fe complexes [Cu{Fe(CO)5 }2 ][SbF6 ], [Ag{Fe(CO)5 }2 ][SbF6 ] and [Au{Fe(CO)5 }2 ][HOB{3,5-(CF3 )2 C6 H3 }3 ] are also given. The silver and gold cations [M{Fe(CO)5 }2 ]+ (M=Ag, Au) possess a nearly linear Fe-M-Fe' moiety but the Fe-Cu-Fe' in [Cu{Fe(CO)5 }2 ][SbF6 ] exhibits a significant bending angle of 147° due to the strong interaction with the [SbF6 ]- anion. The Fe(CO)5 ligands adopt a distorted square-pyramidal geometry in the cations [M{Fe(CO)5 }2 ]+ , with the basal CO groups inclined towards M. The geometry optimization with DFT methods of the cations [M{Fe(CO)5 }2 ]+ (M=Cu, Ag, Au) gives equilibrium structures with linear Fe-M-Fe' fragments and D2 symmetry for the copper and silver cations and D4d symmetry for the gold cation. There is nearly free rotation of the Fe(CO)5 ligands around the Fe-M-Fe' axis. The calculated bond dissociation energies for the loss of both Fe(CO)5 ligands from the cations [M{Fe(CO)5 }2 ]+ show the order M=Au (De =137.2 kcal mol-1 )>Cu (De =109.0 kcal mol-1 )>Ag (De =92.4 kcal mol-1 ). The QTAIM analysis shows bond paths and bond critical points for the M-Fe linkage but not between M and the CO ligands. The EDA-NOCV calculations suggest that the [Fe(CO)5 ]→M+ ←[Fe(CO)5 ] donation is significantly stronger than the [Fe(CO)5 ]←M+ →[Fe(CO)5 ] backdonation. Inspection of the pairwise orbital interactions identifies four contributions for the charge donation of the Fe(CO)5 ligands into the vacant (n)s and (n)p AOs of M+ and five components for the backdonation from the occupied (n-1)d AOs of M+ into vacant ligand orbitals.

Abstract
Spin states of iron often direct the selectivity in oxidation catalysis by iron complexes using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on an oxidant. While low-spin iron(III) hydroperoxides display stereoselective C-H bond hydroxylation, the reactions are nonstereoselective with high-spin iron(II) catalysts. The catalytic studies with a series of high-spin iron(II) complexes of N4 ligands with H2O2 and Sc3+ reported here reveal that the Lewis acid promotes catalytic C-H bond hydroxylation with high chemo- and stereoselectivity. This reactivity pattern is observed with iron(II) complexes containing two cis-labile sites. The enhanced selectivity for C-H bond hydroxylation catalyzed by the high-spin iron(II) complexes in the presence of Sc3+ parallels that of the low-spin iron catalysts. Furthermore, the introduction of multimetal centers enhances the activity and selectivity of the iron catalyst. The study provides insights into the development of peroxide-dependent bioinspired catalysts for the selective oxygenation of C-H bonds without the restriction of using iron complexes of strong-field ligands.

Abstract
Paddlewheel-type complexes are prominent among experimentally known binuclear cobalt complexes and incorporate substituted formamidinate, guanidinate, and carboxylate ligands in digonal, trigonal, and tetragonal arrays around the bimetallic core. Such complexes are modeled here by density functional theory using unsubstituted ligands, extending the whole set to incorporate a variety of metal oxidation states and spin multiplicities. The DFT results for ground state cobalt-cobalt bond lengths and ground state spin multiplicity of the model complexes are often quite close to the experimental results for the corresponding substituted complexes. The three series of complexes often exhibit parallel trends with regard to effects of change in the metal oxidation state and spin multiplicity. The formamidinate and guanidinate series show marked resemblances. The lowered symmetry in many model trigonal complexes implies that such deviations in the experimentally known congeners arise from the inherent electronic structure. For ground state species, the DFT results provide Co-Co bond orders (BOs) from MO occupancy considerations. Further, using a revised electron bookkeeping method, Co-Co formal bond order (fBO) values from 0.0 to 2.0 are assigned to all of the 85 complexes studied. The computed Co-Co bond lengths fall into distinct ranges according to the formal bond order values (from 0.5 to 2).

Abstract
A rare heterobimetallic oxidative addition of X-H (X = C, O) bonds is reported. DFT suggests that steric constraints around the bimetallic core play a critical role to synergistically activate C-H bonds across the two metals and thus explains the exceptional H/D exchange catalytic activity of unhindered surface organometallic Ta/Ir species observed experimentally.

Abstract
Metal-only Lewis pairs (MOLPs) in which the two metal fragments are solely connected by a dative M→M bond represent privileged architectures to acquire fundamental understanding of bimetallic bonding. This has important implications in many catalytic processes or supramolecular systems that rely on synergistic effects between two metals. However, a systematic experimental/computational approach on a well-defined class of compounds is lacking. Here we report a family of MOLPs constructed around the RhI precursor [(η5 -C5 Me5 )Rh(PMe3 )2 ] (1) with a series of s, p and d-block metals, mostly from the main group elements, and investigate their bonding by computational means. Among the new MOLPs, we have structurally characterized those formed by dative bonding between 1 and MgMeBr, AlMe3 , GeCl2 , SnCl2 , ZnMe2 and Zn(C6 F5 )2, as well as spectroscopically identified the ones resulting from coordination to MBArF (M=Na, Li; BArF - =[B(C6 H2 -3,5-(CF3 )2 )4 ]- ) and CuCl. Some of these compounds represent unique examples of bimetallic structures, such as the first unambiguous cases of Rh→Mg dative bonding or base-free rhodium bound germylene and stannylene species. Multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, including 103 Rh NMR, is used to probe the formation of Rh→M bonds. A comprehensive theoretical analysis of those provides clear trends. As anticipated, greater bond covalency is found for the more electronegative acids, whereas ionic character dominates for the least electronegative nuclei, though some degree of electron sharing is identified in all cases.

Abstract
High-valent Pd complexes are potent agents for the oxidative functionalization of inert C-H bonds, and it was previously shown that rapid electrocatalytic methane monofunctionalization could be achieved by electro-oxidation of PdII to a critical dinuclear PdIII intermediate in concentrated or fuming sulfuric acid. However, the structure of this highly reactive, unisolable intermediate, as well as the structural basis for its mechanism of electrochemical formation, remained elusive. Herein, we use X-ray absorption and Raman spectroscopies to assemble a structural model of the potent methane-activating intermediate as a PdIII dimer with a Pd-Pd bond and a 5-fold O atom coordination by HxSO4(x-2) ligands at each Pd center. We further use EPR spectroscopy to identify a mixed-valent M-M bonded Pd2II,III species as a key intermediate during the PdII-to-PdIII2 oxidation. Combining EPR and electrochemical data, we quantify the free energy of Pd dimerization as <-4.5 kcal/mol for Pd2II,III and <-9.1 kcal/mol for PdIII2. The structural and thermochemical data suggest that the aggregate effect of metal-metal and axial metal-ligand bond formation drives the critical Pd dimerization reaction in between electrochemical oxidation steps. This work establishes a structural basis for the facile electrochemical oxidation of PdII to a M-M bonded PdIII dimer and provides a foundation for understanding its rapid methane functionalization reactivity.

Abstract
The reaction of the copper(I) β-diketiminate copper complex {(Cu(BDIMes))2(μ-C6H6)} (BDIMes = N,N'-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)pentane-2,4-diiminate) with the low-valent group 13 metal β-diketiminates M(BDIDip) (M = Al or Ga; BDIDip = N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)pentane-2,4-diiminate) in toluene afforded the complexes {(BDIMes)CuAl(BDIDip)} and {(BDIMes)CuGa(BDIDip)}. These feature unsupported copper-aluminum or copper-gallium bonds with short metal-metal distances, Cu-Al = 2.3010(6) Å and Cu-Ga = 2.2916(5) Å. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that approximately half of the calculated association enthalpies can be attributed to London dispersion forces.

Abstract
The transition metal catalysed formation and cleavage of C-C bonds is of utmost importance in synthetic chemistry. While most of the existing homogeneous catalysts are mononuclear, knowledge of the behaviour of polynuclear species is much more limited. By using computational methods, here we shed light into the mechanistic details of the thermally-induced isomerization of Cp*3 Ru3 (μ-H)2 (μ3 -η2 -pentyne)(μ3 -pentylidyne) (2) into Cp*3 Ru3 (μ-H)2 (μ3 -η2 -octyne)(μ3 -ethylidyne) (3), a process that involves the migration of a C3 fragment between the hydrocarbyl ligands and across the plane formed by the three Ru centres. Our results show this to be a complex transformation that comprises of five individual rearrangements in an A→B→A→B→A order. Each so-called rearrangement A consists of the CH migration from the μ3 -η2 -alkyne into the μ3 -alkylidine ligand in the other side of the Ru3 plane. This process is facilitated by the cluster's ability to adopt open-core structures in which one Ru-Ru bond is broken and a new C-C bond is formed. In contrast, rearrangements B do not involve the formation or cleavage of C-C bonds, nor do they require the opening of the cluster core. Instead, they consist of the isomerization of the μ3 -η2 -alkyne and μ3 -alkylidyne ligands on each side of the triruthenium plane into μ3 -alkylidyne and μ3 -η2 -alkyne, respectively. Such transformation implies the migration of three H atoms within the hydrocarbyl ligands, and in this case, it is aided by the cluster's ability to behave as a H reservoir. All in all, this study highlights the plasticity of these Ru3 clusters, whereby Ru-Ru, Ru-C, Ru-H, C-C, and C-H bonds are formed and broken with surprising ease.
