This Perspective discusses the synthesis and reactivity of low-coordinate transition metal diaryl complexes. The development of sterically demanding ligands, in particular m-terphenyls is facilitating the isolation of complexes featuring two-coordinate open-shell transition metal centres. These coordinatively unsaturated complexes are now being investigated for their reaction chemistry, which is not only contributing to the elucidation of the structure and bonding within these systems but is also leading to the formation of novel compounds.
这篇观点文章讨论了低配位过渡金属二芳基配合物的合成和反应性。具有空间位阻的配体，特别是间三联苯的发展，有利于分离出具有两配位开壳层过渡金属中心的配合物。这些配位不饱和的配合物正在被研究其反应化学，这不仅有助于阐明这些体系中的结构和键合，而且还导致了新型化合物的形成。
