Abstract
The diverse applications of functionalized 1,8-naphthyridine (NP) ligands is the focus of this microreview. Simpler synthetic routes and the pliant nature of NP-R steered us towards their utilization in dimetal chemistry. The ongoing research on NP chemistry in our laboratory is highlighted. The topics include the comprehensive study of the ligand disposition around the quadruply bonded Mo2 core,modulation of the metal–metal distance by axial donors in paddlewheel complexes, facile cyclometalation and C–C bond formation at axial sites of the diruthenium(I) core, building metallosupramolecular architectures, and the formation of novel unsupported iridium(II) dimer aided by redox-active NP-R ligands.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
