Organo-metallic materials with reduced steric hindrance and the ability to aggregate ar disclosed. The metal remains capable of binding additional molecules. As an example, Zn complexes that prove aggregation are provided. Such aggregation may help improve or trigger new surface properties of the materials, alone or in combination with others. In a further implementation of the present disclosure, a robust molecule that resists degradation via nucleophilic, electrophilic and radical attacks is provided. Coordinated O 2 is reduced catalytically, producing efficiently thyil radicals in spite of the extreme electronic deficiency of the catalyst. |
