Recent developments and challenges of molecular design in linear cyanido-bridged multimetallic complexes

Abstract

Cyanido-bridged multimetallic complexes have been extensively studied for their potential applications in molecular electronics and spintronics. The design of these complexes involves the strategic placement of metal centers and the use of cyanide bridges to facilitate electron transfer between metal ions. The challenges in this field include the precise control of the electronic states and the stability of the complexes under various conditions. Researchers are exploring new synthetic methods and functionalization strategies to overcome these challenges and to enhance the performance of these complexes in practical applications. Overall, this review demonstrates the design of linear cyanido-bridged multimetallic complexes and related electronic properties, emphasizing the remaining challenges.
