Hydrogenation Reactions with Heterobimetallic Complexes

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Hydrogenations are fundamentally and industrially important reactions that are atom economical paths to synthesize value‐added products from feedstock chemicals. The cooperative effects of two or more metal centers in multimetallic active sites is a successful strategy to activate small molecules and facilitate catalytic reactions, and this strategy has been recently applied to catalytic hydrogenation reactions. Furthermore, heterobimetallic complexes have been well‐documented to provide novel reaction pathways and improved selectivity, compared to their homo‐bimetallic and monometallic analogues. This minireview provides a historical perspective on the development of heterobimetallic catalysts for the hydrogenation of unsaturated substrates and describes recent developments in this burgeoning research area.
