	abstract = {{Gentle thermolysis of the bis(neopentyl) complex Cp*W(NO)(CH2CMe3)(2) (1) at 70 degrees C in various substituted benzenes results in the loss of neopentane and the generation of the transient alkylidene complex Cp*W(NO)(=CHCMe3) (A), which subsequently effects single C-H bond activations of the benzenes. These activations exhibit a pronounced selectivity for the C-H linkages ortho to the benzene substituents. Thus, thermal reactions of 1 with C6H5X lead to the preferential formation of the corresponding Cp*W( NO)(CH2CMe3)(o-C6H4X) complexes, the ortho-selectivity, i. e.},
