	abstract = {A series of dichloride complexes of titanium and zirconium with amidate and ureate ancillary ligands have been prepared, Three examples of bis(amidate)dichlorotitanium and zirconium complexes were effectively synthesized through salt metathesis with metal tetrachloride as starting materials. Optimum results were achieved using sodium amidate salts formed from sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and neutral amide proligands, while other methods were ineffective. Use of electron-donating ureate ligands in lieu of amidates enables preparation through alternate routes. Protonolysis of Ti(NMe2)(2)Cl-2 and Zr(NMe2)(2)Cl-2(dme) with urea proligands leads to dichlorobis(ureate) complexes in good yield. Using a tethered bis(ureate) ligand eliminates the fluxional behaviour and coordination isomerism observed for both bis(amidate) and bis(ureate) zirconium complexes. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH \& Co.

	abstract = {The preparation, characterisation and structural analysis of a series of zirconium(IV) complexes that incorporate the diamido/diamine macrocyclic ligand Bn(2)Cyclam (Bn(2)Cyclam = 1,8-dibenzyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) are described. The reaction of one or two equivalents of the appropriate LiNHR reagents with [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl2] give the corresponding amido-chloride [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl(NHR)] (R = Bu-t, Ph-2,Ph-6-iPr) or bis(amido) [(Bn(2)Cyclam) Zr(NHR)(2)] (R = Pr-i, Bu-t, Ph-2,Ph-6-Me) complexes, respectively. Treatment of [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl(NH2,6- iPrPh)] with one equiv. of MgClMe gives the base-free, monomeric imido complex [(Bn(2)Cyclam)Zr(N2,6-iPrPh)]. The reaction of the tBu analog with MgClMe generates a dimeric bridging imido species [{(Bn(2)Cyclam)Zr}(2)(mu-NR)(2)], which can also be obtained by thermal decomposition of [(Bn(2)Cyclam)Zr(NHtBu)(2)] in toluene. The bis(hydrazido) complex [(Bn(2)Cyclam)Zr(NHNPh2)(2)] was obtained by reaction of [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl2] and two equiv. of LiNHNPh2. A hydrazido-chloride compound [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl(N(Ph)NBu(Ph))] was generated in a one-pot reaction between [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl2], LiBu and azobenzene. DFT calculations on [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrXY] complexes indicate that the coordination geometry adopted by these species is dictated by the steric bulk of the ligands X and Y, varying between six-coordinate prismatic and four-coordinate tetrahedral.},

	abstract = {The photolysis of [P2N2]TaMe3 ([P2N2] = PhP(CH2SiMe2NSiMe2CH2)(2)PPh) produces [P2N2]Ta=CH2(Me) as the major product. The thermally unstable methylidene complex decomposes in solution in the absence of trapping agents to unidentified products. However, in the presence of ethylene [P2N2]Ta=CH2(Me) is slowly converted to [P2N2]Ta(C2H4)Et, with [P2N2]Ta(C2H4)Me observed as a minor product. A mechanistic study suggests that the formation of [P2N2]Ta(C2H4)Et results from the trapping of [P2N2]TaEt, formed by the migratory insertion of the methylene moiety into the tantalum-methyl bond. The minor product, [P2N2]Ta(C2H4)Me, forms from the decomposition of a tantalacyclobutane resulting from the addition of ethylene to [P2N2]Ta=CH2(Me) and is accompanied by the production of an equivalent of propylene. Pure [P2N2]Ta(C2H4)Et can be synthesized by hydrogenation of [P2N2]TaMe3 in the presence of PMe3, followed by the reaction bf ethylene with the resulting trihydride. Crystallographic and NMR data indicate the presence of a beta -agostic interaction between the ethyl group and tantalum center in [P2N2]Ta(C2H4)Et. Partially deuterated analogues of [P2N2]Ta(C2H4)Et show a large isotopic perturbation of resonance for both the beta -protons and the alpha -protons of the ethyl group, indicative of an equilibrium between a beta -agostic and an a-agostic interaction for the ethyl group in solution. An EXSY spectrum demonstrates that an additional fluxional process occurs that exchanges all of the H-1 environments of the ethyl and ethylene ligands. The mechanism of this exchange is believed to involve the direct transfer of the beta -agostic hydrogen atom from the ethyl group to the ethylene ligand, via the so-called beta -hydrogen transfer process.},
