∏-conjugated multinuclear metalladithiolenes and metalladithiolene clusters

This article is HOT as recommended by the referees. And we’ve made it free to access for 4 weeks.

Gigantic multinuclear transition metal cluster complexes have unique properties and reactivities.

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.
