| Research Abstract |
Polynuclear species are expected to display chemical properties, which cannot be realized by mononuclear species. In this study we focus on catalytic activity induced by cooperation of the component metal centers. We have found that dinuclear species containing a [Ru(bipy)_3]^<2+>-like unit as the light-harvesting unit and a Pd center as the catalytic transformation center show catalytic activity for dimerizaton and polymerization of olefins, which is remarkably enhanced by irradiation of visible light..
