Abstract

Abstract : Bimetallic duet : The reactivity of a classical organometallic Pt complex, represented by a professional cello player, is enhanced by combined performance with an abundant and inexpensive metal like Zn, represented as a street musician on the left, leading to facile activation of H−H, B−H, and Si−H bonds, which does not occur during a solo performance by Pt alone. More about the bimetallic duet can be found in the Research Article by J. R. Khusnutdinova and co‐workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202201639 ). Kaori Serakaki is thanked for designing the image.
