“…Among various ligands designed for dinuclear systems, 2,7-disubstituted 1,8-naphthyridine-based ligands (L 1 -L 4 ) ( Figure 1) have been extensively employed in the construction of dimetallic complexes containing two metal ions within a short distance. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Indeed, ligand L 1 has been shown to form stable dirhodium [Rh-Rh 2.405(2) Å], [13] diruthenium [Ru-Ru 2.273(4) Å] [4] and dicopper [Cu-Cu 3.094 Å] complexes. [13c,16j] In addition, the metal ions are separated by 3.22 Å in the dinickel complex based on ligand L 2 , [16i] 2.9534(2) Å in the dicopper complex based on ligand L 3 , and 2.449(1)-2.7328(5) Å in the dicopper complexes based on ligand L 4 .…”
