Transcyclometalation, a versatile methodology for multiple metal-carbon bond formation with multisite ligands.
Transcyclometalation has been successfully applied for the multi-platination and -ruthenation of 'chartwheel'-type ligand systems containing six potential metal binding sites, thus providing a method for multiple metal-carbon bond formation via C-H bond activation which is superior to established cyclometalation protocols.
