Abstract

The thirtieth anniversary of the quadruple bond marks a time in science when synthetic inorganic chemists are exploring molecular routes to new solid-state materials. Dinuclear transition metal complexes possessing σ, π, and δ components to their M-M bonding present exciting opportunities for the design of macromolecular compounds with interesting optical, electronic, and magnetic properties. This brief review reports recent progress in the area of ordered molecular arrays incorporating quadruply bonded and other multiply bonded M2 units.
