New N,S-hybrid ligands for binuclear transition metal complexes

单核和双核过渡金属配合物中的杂化配体为均相催化、材料化学和生物无机研究提供了独特的机会。将这些不同的应用结合在一起的共同主题在于配体设计。比伦斯蒂尔研究小组开发了一系列新的杂化配体，分别包含硬施主原子和软施主原子，如氮(N)和硫(S)。目标N，S-杂化配体将被研究其半活性，这是一个对催化至关重要的概念，它们与早(硬)和晚(软)过渡金属结合的能力，以及它们的非无害氧化还原活性，因为这些配体积极参与电子转移过程。

Hybrid ligands in mono- and binuclear transition metal complexes offer unique opportunities for applications in homogenous catalysis, materials chemistry and bioinorganic research. The common theme that binds these diverse applications lies in ligand design. The Bierenstiel research group develops new series of hybrid ligands that contain both hard and soft donor atoms, such as nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S), respectively. The targeted N,S-hybrid ligands will be investigated for their hemilability property, a concept pivotal to catalysis, their ability to bind to early (hard) and late (soft) transition metals and their non-innocent redox-activity as these ligands participate actively in electron transfer processes.
