Ferrocene-Supported Compartmental Ligands for the Assembly of 3d/4f Complexes

Site-specific coordination ligands, also known as compartmental ligands, have been used for the preparation of heterometallic complexes. These ligands, by virtue of possessing specific binding sites, can encapsulate different metal ions in their coordination pockets. Such compartmental ligands have...

Description
Summary:Site-specific coordination ligands, also known as compartmental ligands, have been used for the preparation of heterometallic complexes. These ligands, by virtue of possessing specific binding sites, can encapsulate different metal ions in their coordination pockets. Such compartmental ligands have been widely used for the preparation of heterometallic 3d/4f complexes which have applications in molecular magnetism. This Review summarizes our efforts in the use of ferrocene-based compartmental ligands for the preparation of heterometallic 3d/4f complexes, some of which are single-molecule or single-ion magnets.
