The formation and cleavage of chemical bonds in catalytic reactions relies on accessible redox processes that are often challenging for base metals such as first row and early transition metals. Bimetallic cooperativity provides a potential solution to this challenge. Leveraging dinucleating phosphinoamide ligands, a series of early/late heterobimetallic Zr/Co compounds have been synthesized and investigated. These frameworks have been shown to support metal-metal multiple bonds and facilitate redox and small molecule application processes. The many ways that metal-metal cooperativity can be incorporated into bond activation and catalysis will be showcased in two examples. First, the use of cobalt as a "redox-active metalloligand" for the appended redox-inactive d0 ZrIVmetal site of a tris(phosphinoamide)-bridged Zr/Co complex can be leveraged in the context of oxidative group transfer and coordination-induced bond weakening through a multi-site coupled proton electron transfer process. In addition, the Co and Zr sites can simultaneously interact with substrates to facilitate bond activation processes such as those involved in C-H activation and N2 fixation.
