Metal-metal interactions have attracted increasing attention, owing to their relevance to heterogeneous catalysis their potential for promoting multi-electron transformations towards small molecules substrates. Compared to 2nd and 3rd row transition metals, the construction of heterobimetallic complexes featuring twodi?erent 1st row transition metal atoms is more challenging. Our group has studied the metal-metal bonding and the reactivity at Cr/M and V/M heterobimetallic compounds supported by a tris(phosphinoamide)framework (M= Fe, Co, Ni, Cu). The synthesis, characterization, and reactivityof a series of Ti/Co heterobimetallic complexes featuring three phosphinoamide ligands will be discussed.We have also studied the metal-metal bonding of these compounds in order to understand the nature of these interactions and gain some insight into heterogeneous catalytic reactions on the surface oftitanium materials.
