Combinatorial Catalysis with Bimetallic Complexes: Robust and Efficient Catalysts for Atom-Transfer Radical Additions

摘要

Methods of combinatorial chemistry such as high-throughput screenings are increasingly being employed for the discovery and optimization of homogeneous transition-metal catalysts. So far, most efforts have focused on mononuclear catalysts with ligands that are preferably built in a modular fashion. The screening of bi- or oligometallic catalysts represents a special challenge since the synthesis of a catalyst library is generally more difficult.
