Chain compounds based on transition metal backbones: new life for an old topic. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A new link in the chain: After a long period of inactivity, research into onedimensional compounds based on linear arrays of transition metals is experiencing a renaissance. Recently, oligomeric and polymeric chains have been reported for a variety of transition metals. One such compound of a particularly exotic variety is depicted here, in which a {Pd4}2+ unit is surrounded by a "-electron sheath" of conjugated polyene ligands.
