title: Oxidative addition across Zr/Co multiple bonds in early/late heterobimetallic complexes.
abstract: The reactivity of heterobimetallic Zr/Co complexes linked by phosphinoamide ligands towards the oxidative addition of I(2) and alkyl halides is reported. These reactions are accompanied by dissociation of one phosphine ligand from Co and eta(2)-coordination to Zr. Addition of H(2) leads to both oxidative addition across the M-M bond and P-N bond cleavage.
