Gigantic multinuclear transition metal cluster complexes have unique properties and reactivities.
Metalladithiolenes, along with their cluster complexes, are excellent compounds for studying multinucleation and electronic communication in mixed-valent states. Electronic communication in mixed-valent states is particularly important for single-molecule magnets, enzymes and for the creation of molecular devices. Ryota Sakamoto, Satoru Tsukada and Hiroshi Nishihara detail synthetic strategies for the successful multinucleation of metalladithiolenes in this Hot Perspective.
