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
Pre-coordination to a transition metal by the terminal donor groups of a tri-dentate ligand is a common strategy to stabilise elusive groups, to achieve unprecedented bond activation and to develop novel modes of metal-ligand-cooperation for catalysis. In the current manuscript, we demonstrate that the oxidative addition of a central E-H-bond after pre-coordination to the metal centre is disfavoured for metals with d10 electron configuration. For exemplary pincer ligands and metals with d10 electron configuration, quantum chemical calculations suggest a second barrier, which is associated with the rearrangement of the saw-horse structure, obtained after oxidative addition, to the expected square planar geometry for the resulting d8 electron configuration. In the case of PBP-type ligands with a central L2BH2-group (L = R3P) the reaction with Pt0 precursors proceeds via an alternative pathway of activation, which involves the backside attack of a nucleophile to the boron atom, which facilitates the nucleophilic attack of the Pt0 centre and formation of a boryl complex (LBH2). As the corresponding reaction with a PtII precursor leads to B-H- instead of B-L-activation and formation of complex 2 with a L2BH donor, our results show that ligand-stabilized borylenes (L2BH) can in principle be converted to boryls (LBH2) via boronium salts (L2BH2+).

Abstract
The field of heterobimetallic chemistry has rapidly expanded over the last decade. In addition to their interesting structural features, heterobimetallic structures have been found to facilitate a range of stoichiometric bond activations and catalytic processes. The accompanying review summarizes advances in this area since January of 2010. The review encompasses well-characterized heterobimetallic complexes, with a particular focus on mechanistic details surrounding their reactivity applications.

Abstract
The recently synthesized rhodium-aluminum bimetallic complex Rh(PAlP) 1 (PAlP = pincer-type diphosphino-aluminyl ligand Al{[N(C6H4)]2NMe}[CH2P(iPr)2]2) containing a unique Rh-Al direct bond exhibits coordination flexibility because Rh and Al can play the role of coordination site for the substrate. DFT calculations of NH3, CO, and C2H4 adducts with 1 show that the Rh atom is favorable for all these substrate but the Al atom is as favorable as the Rh atom for NH3 and unfavorable for CO and C2H4. NH3 and CO prefer the coordination at the Rh-axial (Ax) site to the Rh-equatorial (Eq) site, but C2H4 prefers coordination at the Rh-Eq site to the Rh-Ax site. Consequently, two CO and C2H4 molecules coordinate with 1 at the Rh-Ax and Rh-Eq sites to afford trigonal bipyramidal complexes Rh(PAlP)(CO)2 and Rh(PAlP)(C2H4)2, which is consistent with the experimental observation of Rh(PAlP)(CO)2. Energy decomposition analysis reveals that an electrostatic term plays an important role for NH3 coordination with the Al atom of 1, because Al has a significantly large positive charge and NH3 has a much negatively charged N atom and exhibits a considerably negative electrostatic potential at the Al position. In B and Ga analogues Rh(PBP) 2 and Rh(PGaP) 3, B and Ga atoms are not good for CO and C2H4 like the Al atom in 1. NH3 adducts with 2 and 3 at the B and Ga sites are less stable than those adducts at the Rh-Ax site unlike the NH3 adduct with 1 at the Al site. This difference in the NH3 adduct between Rh(PAlP) and others (Rh(PBP) and Rh(PGaP)) arises from much less positive charges of B and Ga and a smaller atomic size of B than that of Al. These results indicate that the significantly large electropositive nature and appropriate atomic size of Al are responsible for the characteristic coordination flexibility of Rh(PAlP).

Abstract
Recent development in catalytic application of transition metal complexes having an M-E bond (E = main group metal or metalloid element), which is stabilized by a multidentate ligand, is summarized. Main group metal and metalloid supporting ligands furnish unusual electronic and steric environments and molecular functions to transition metals, which are not easily available with standard organic supporting ligands such as phosphines and amines. These characteristics often realize remarkable catalytic activity, unique product selectivity, and new molecular transformations. This perspective demonstrates the promising utility of main group metal and metalloid compounds as a new class of supporting ligands for transition metal catalysts in synthetic chemistry.
