title: Solid-phase synthesis of transition-metal complexes.
abstract: This overview highlights recent progress in the field of selective construction of linear, oligonuclear transition-metal complexes by using solid-phase synthesis procedures. Two general protocols have been identified: formation of coordinative bonds between metal centres and bridging ligands and formation of covalent bonds between preformed kinetically inert transition-metal-containing building blocks in the chain growth step. Currently available suitable building blocks for the second approach are based on ferrocene units, bis(terpyridine)-ruthenium(II) moieties or metal porphyrins.
