With the intent to demonstrate that the charge of Z-type ligands can be used to modulate the electrophilic character and catalytic properties of coordinated transition metals, we are now targeting complexes bearing polycationic antimony-based Z-type ligands.  Our latest efforts in this line of study have led us to consider complexes in which a dicationic antimony center act as a Z-type ligand toward a late transition metal such as gold or platinum. This presentation will cover the synthesis of such complexes, their characterization and their use as catalysts for the activation of alkenes and alkynes.<br/>
