| Research Abstract |
Multimetallic cluster complexes have been extensively studied due to their applicability of proximal metal centers as a reactive site for unique organic transformations. We previously reported a tetranuclear zinc cluster catalyzed selective trans-esterification in the presence of amine functionalities, and the selectivity was opposite trend to the cluster catalyst free reaction condition. Based on the unique reactivity of the tetranuclear zinc cluster, we applied several multimetallic cluster complexes as catalysts for ester transformations. During our research, we found that the mixture of multimetallic clusters and nitrogen-based ligands led to the formation of highly reactive species after the coordination of the ligands to the cluster motif. Such enhancement effects were observed in zinc cluster catalyzed several ester transformations, and in addition, octanuclear cobalt clusters became an excellent catalyst for trans-esterification upon addition of 2,2’-bipyridine. Therefore, such cluster transformation during the catalytic reaction by using additional ligands is general strategy for showing high catalytic performance.
