Addition of TiCl(4) or ZrCl(4) to (PNP)Rh(CH(2)==CH(t)Bu) (1) rapidly gives complexes (PNP)Rh(MCl(3))(Cl) (M = Ti, 2; Zr, 3) in 75-77% yield (PNP = (4-Me-2-((i)Pr(2)P)-C(6)H(3))(2)N). Compound 2 can also be synthesized via a reaction of (PNP)RhCl with TiCl(3) or of (PNP)TiCl(3) with 1/2 [(cod)RhCl](2).

Heterobimetallic complexes are studied for their ability to mimic biological systems as well as active sites in heterogeneous catalysts. While specific interest in early/late heterobimetallic systems has fluctuated, they serve as important models to fundamentally understand metal-metal bonding. Specifically, the polarized metal-metal multiple bonds formed in highly reduced early/late heterobimetallic complexes exemplify how each metal modulates the electronic environment and reactivity of the complex as a whole.

Two innovative early/late Ti-Pt-heterobimetallic complexes were synthesized, characterized, and screened in cell-based assays using several human (SW480 and MDA-MB-231) and murine cancer cell lines (CT26 and EMT6) as well as a non-cancerous cell line (HMEC). The combination of the two metals - titanium(IV) and platinum (IV) - in a single molecule led to a synergistic biological activity (higher anti-proliferative properties than a mixture of each of the corresponding monometallic complexes). This study also investigated the benefits of associating a metal-free terpyridine moiety (with intrinsic biological activity) with a water-soluble titanocene fragment.

Accessing Ta/Cu Architectures via Metal-Metal Salt Metatheses: Heterobimetallic C-H Bond Activation Affords μ-Hydrides.

We employ a metal-metal salt metathesis strategy to access low-valent tantalum-copper heterometallic architectures (Ta-μ -H -Cu and Ta-μ -H -Cu ) that emulate structural elements proposed for surface alloyed nanomaterials. Whereas cluster assembly with carbonylmetalates is well precedented, the use of the corresponding polyarene transition metal anions is underexplored, despite recognition of these highly reactive fragments as storable sources of atomic M . Our application of this strategy provides structurally unique early-late bimetallic species.

The synthesis of the metalloligand Ta(κ-NP)Cl (NP = 2-diphenylphosphinopyrrolide) and its coordination chemistry with group 9 and 10 metals is reported. Treatment of Ta(κ-NP)Cl with group 9 and 10 metals resulted in clean formation of the heterobimetallic complexes ClTa(μ-NP)M (M = Ni (), Pd ()) or ClTa(μ-NP)MCl (M = Rh (), Ir ()). Each pair of complexes is isostructural and contains three phosphinopyrrolide ligands that bridge the metal centers.

Lability of Ta-NHC adducts as a synthetic route towards heterobimetallic Ta/Rh complexes.

We report the synthesis and characterization of a series of original tantalum/rhodium heterobimetallic species assembled by a bifunctional alkoxy-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand platform (noted L). The heterotrimetallic [Ta(CH2tBu)(CHtBu)(μ-L)Rh2(COD)2Cl2]n, 2, and heterobimetallic [Ta(μ-L)(CHtBu)(CH2tBu)2Rh(COD)Cl], 4, complexes are obtained upon treatment of [Ta(L)(CHtBu)(CH2tBu)2], 1, with [Rh(COD)Cl]2. To avoid parasistic reactivity arising from the neopentylidene fragment in 1, the peralkyl compound {Ta(L)[OSi(OtBu)3](CH2tBu)3}, 5, resulting from the 1,2-addition of tris(tertbutoxysilanol) across the Ta[double bond, length as m-dash]C alkylidene motif, is prepared.
