| Summary: | This minireview reports the most recent advances in the use of heterometallic catalysts based on single-frame N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. The article describes the synthetic strategies for the preparation of heterometallic catalysts, and their applications in the design of tandem processes by combining the catalytic properties associated with the two (or more) different metal centers. Several examples are discussed in which the use of heterometallic complexes results in a clear enhancement of the catalytic outcome compared to the results provided by mixtures of related homometallic complexes. The field constitutes a research area that is full of potential and is at its very earliest stage.
N-heterocyclic carbene-based heterometallic complexes have emerged as useful multicatalysts for tandem reactions. |

| Bibliography: | F. E. Hahn studied chemistry at the Technische Universität Berlin and the University of Oklahoma (MS 1982). He graduated with a Dr rer. nat. from the Technische Universität Berlin in 1985. After a postdoctorate with Prof. Raymond at UC Berkeley (1985-1988) he completed the Habilitation in 1990 and became Associate Professor at the Freie Universität Berlin (1992-1998) before moving in 1998 to a position as chair of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Münster. His research is centered around the chemistry of N-heterocyclic carbenes and isocyanides ligands. He serves in the Editorial Boards of Dalton Transactions and the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry and is a member of the advisory boards of Organometallics. Since 2004 he acts as Permanent Secretary of the International Conference of Organometallic Chemistry (ICOMC). Jose A. Mata was born in Vila-real, Castellón, in 1974. He received a BS in chemistry from the University of Valencia (1997) and completed his PhD with honors at University Jaume I under the supervision of Prof. E. Peris in 2002 where he worked on functionalized ferrocenes with non-linear optical properties (NLO). He was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University with Prof. Robert Crabtree (2002-2003) working on rhodium complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. In 2004 he moved to Toulouse as a postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (CNRS) with Prof. Rinaldo Poli and worked on atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). He returned to University Jaume I with the "Ramón y Cajal" program (2005-2008) and became assistant professor of chemistry in 2008. His research interests are focused on the development of new catalytic processes based on metal complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. Eduardo Peris graduated in Chemistry in 1988 in Valencia. He received his PhD Degree in Chemistry (1991) in the Universidad de Valencia, under the supervision of Prof. Pascual Lahuerta. In 1994 he joined Robert Crabtree's group at Yale University, where he stayed for two years, working on a research project regarding the determination of hydrogen bonding to metal hydrides (dihydrogen bond). In October 1995 he moved to the Universitat Jaume I (Castellón-Spain) as an Assistant Professor (1995-1997), Lecturer (1997-2007) and finally Professor of Inorganic Chemistry. At the Universitat Jaume I he started a research project related to the use of organometallic push-pull compounds with non-linear-optical properties. The current interest of his group is the design of new polytopic rigid N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (NHCs) that can be applied to the preparation of improved catalysts and advanced materials with attractive physical properties. In 2012 he's been awarded the 'Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry' award in the field of Inorganic Chemistry Research. |
