Homo and heterodinuclear ‘Pacman’ compounds are characterized by the combination of two (different) metal coordination fragments that are brought in proximity to each other via a covalent linkage. The syntheses as well as the application of this type of compounds for either energy transfer processes or the cooperative transformation of a substrate is presented. The latter is exemplified in more detail for the activation of water, dioxygen and carbon dioxide. For more details, see the Concept article by P. Lang and M. Schwalbe on page 17398 ff.
