摘 要: | Transition metal complexes derived from potentially terdentate ligands have attracted great interest in the late years. Among all the examples described so far, those containing palladium( Ⅱ ) or platinum( Ⅱ ) and ligands holding three heteroatoms with different donor abilities are particularly relevant. In compounds of this kind, the potential hemilability of one of the terminal σ(M-donor atom) bonds, plays an important role in the view of their applications in homogeneous catalysis. On the other hand, it is well-known that in dimetallic complexes the presence of two different metals in a close vicinity may influence their mutual cooperation in a wide variety of processes. Besides that, some examples of the utility of chiral palladium( Ⅱ ) as well as platinum( Ⅱ ) complexes as precursors for organic and/or organometallic synthesis, as chiral recognitors or discriminators, or even in Bio-Medicine have also been reported. However, chiral heterodimetallic compounds holding ferrocenyl units and potentially terdentate ligands are scarce.
