Cooperatively bimetallic organic catalysis, coupling actions of two metal centers in a catalytic organic transformation via co‐activation of a single molecule or synergistic activation of two molecules, has witnessed rapid development in the last decades. This cooperative reacting mode creates new catalytic platforms to facilitate the characterization of bimetallic reaction pathways, offers remarkable improvements to some well‐established reactions, or exhibit unprecedented reactivity. Herein, we demonstrate perspectives of some significant contributions in the field of cooperatively bimetallic organic catalysis using dinucleating complexes with late transition metals. Based on different activation modes for the catalysis, the major advances are classified into: (1) bimetallic co‐activation of small molecules; (2) bimetallic co‐activation of single molecules; (3) bimetallic dual‐activation of two molecules. The mechanisms are also discussed to facilitate the understanding of the way of the metal‐metal cooperation involved in the catalytic cycles.

金属-金属配合物的成核作用，涉及用于有机催化的后期过渡金属

在过去的几十年中，合作双金属有机催化，两个金属中心通过单个分子的共活化或两个分子的协同活化在催化有机转化中的偶联作用得到了迅速发展。这种协同反应模式创造了新的催化平台，以促进双金属反应路径的表征，对某些公认的反应进行了显着改进，或展现了前所未有的反应性。在这里，我们展示了在使用双核配合物与后期过渡金属的合作双金属有机催化领域中一些重要贡献的观点。基于不同的催化活化方式，主要的进展可分为：（1）小分子的双金属共活化；（2）小分子的双金属共活化。（2）单分子的双金属共激活；（3）两个分子的双金属双活化。还讨论了机制，以促进对催化循环中金属与金属间相互作用方式的理解。
