Abstract
The ability of metal cluster complexes to produce facile multicenter transformations of small molecules has been the most exciting and important aspects of their chemistry.1 Multicenter transformations can be divided into two categories: (1) Multicenter Activation through multicenter coordination, as illustrated by bridging ligands, e.g., A; and (2) Multicenter Reaction in which a ligand is coordinated to one or more metal atoms but undergoes a reaction at a vacant site on a neighboring metal atom, e.g., B. The potential to exploit these transformations for the development of new catalysts has been one of the principal reasons for the great interest in the synthesis and study of these compounds.2–9
