Research Abstract	This project aimed at the synthesis of multimetallic complexes having a proximal Lewis acidic moiety and the development of novel multimetallic catalysis, which has not been achieved by other single metal catalysis. In this project, we successfully synthesized early/late bimetallic complexes bearing a novel[ PONNO] ligand or[ PONNOP] ligand, and applied to catalytic transformations. In some reactions, synergetic effects of multiple metals were observed to enhance the catalytic activity and product selectivity.
