The iodide derivative of 2, [As2N2] ZrI2 (3) can be prepared by reaction with iodotrimethylsilane. The lithium complex 1 displays a very long lithium arsenic bond distance of 3.162(10) Angstrom, and the yttrium complex 5 is the first known complex containing a yttrium arsenic bond. Reduction of 2, 3 or 4 using C8K or activated magnesium decomposed the complexes in such a manner that the ligand was separated from the metal centre. Indirect evidence suggests this may be due to reduction of arsenic in the ligand in preference to the metal.},

The homogeneous systems were initially dominated by ones based on Rh complexes containing chiral, chelating diphosphine ligands, although related Ru-and Ir-based systems are becoming more prominent; a very recent, extremely effective hydrogen transfer system (from formic acid), based on Ru catalysts containing chiral 1,2-diamine ligands, is especially significant. A fundamentally different type involving an early transition-metal catalyst (a chiral titanocene) has been reported. Enantiomeric excess (e.e.) values in the range of 90-100\% have now been achieved with certain substrates. Emphasis is given to some Rh and Ru catalysts developed in the Department of Chemistry, The University of British Columbia (UBC). Factors discussed include: dependence of conversions, rates and e.e. values on substrate and catalyst type; kinetic dependences; and mechanistic insights, especially possible roles of intermediate metal-hydride and -imine species.},

The mechanism proposed for formation of the latter involves dehydrogenation of the secondary amine adduct to Ru2Cl4(dppb)(2)[PhCH(2)N=C(H)Ph], followed by hydrolysis of the coordinated imine. Direct reaction of PhCH(2)N=C(H)Ph with 3 under H-2 permits isolation of solely 4b.

	abstract = {A family of ruthenium ditertiary phosphine complexes was investigated for catalytic activity toward imine hydrogenation. The diphosphines (PP) used include chiral (chiraphos, diop, binap) and achiral (dppe, dppb) systems (chiraphos = Ph2PCH(Me)CH(Me)PPh2; diop = Ph2PCH2CHOCMe2OCHCH2PPh2; binap = 2,2{\textquoteright}-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1{\textquoteright}-binaphthyl; Ph2P(CH2)(n)PPh2 (n = 2, dppe; n = 4, dppb)). Activity was observed in MeOH at low catalyst concentrations (0.77 mM Ru), under moderate conditions (room temperature (r.t.), 1000 psi H2). The air-stable Ru2Cl5(PP)2 complexes were more active than the commonly used dimeric Ru2(II,II) systems to which they give rise in situ. Asymmetric induction in the prochiral ketimine PhCH2N = C(Me)Ph was consistent, though modest, within the diop and binap series of neutral complexes, implying a common catalytic intermediate within each series. A maximum e.e. of 27\% was found using Ru2Cl5(chiraphos)2 as catalyst; this represents a non-optimized figure for asymmetric induction, as no other prochiral ketimines were screened.},

	abstract = {{The preparation of a series of dinuclear complexes of zirconium and tantalum is presented in an effort to determine factors involved in the coordination mode of the bridging dinitrogen ligand. Reduction of ZrCl3[N(SiMe2-CH2PR2)2] (R = Pr(i) and B(t)) with Na/Hg under N2 generate the corresponding dinitrogen complexes {[(R2PCH2-SiMe2)2 SiMe2)2N]ZrCl}2(mu-eta2:eta2-N2); the X-ray crystal structure of the dark blue derivative having R = Pr(i) shows that the dinitrogen unit is bridging in a planar side-on bonding mode. The N-N bond distance is 1.548(7) angstrom, which is the longest such distance for any dinitrogen complex reported. Molecular orbital calculations on this molecule indicate that the N2 unit bonds in a side-on fashion due to the unavailability of one of the d orbitals on each zirconium that would normally be involved in a pi-bond with the antibonding pi*-orbitals of the N2 moiety. This particular zirconium d orbital is unavailable due to the ancillary tridentate ligand which positions the amide donor (and the chloride) to overlap effectively with this d orbital. The results of this MO study also show that the HOMO has delta-symmetry. When the related derivative Zr(eta5-C5H5)Cl2[N(SiMe2CH2PPri2)2] is reduced under N2, the corresponding dinuclear derivative {[(Pri2PCH2SiMe2)2N]Zr(eta5-C5H5)}2(mu-eta1:eta1-N2) has the bridging dinitrogen unit end-on. In this case, the MO analysis shows that the cyclopentadienyl ligand overlaps with that zirconium d orbital which could form the delta-molecular orbital of the side-on mode; as a result, the end-on form is generated. A similar argument can be used to rationalize the end-on binding mode of the dinitrogen unit in the related tantalum derivatives {[(Pri2PCH2SiMe2)2N]Ta=CHR}2(mu-eta1:eta1-N2) (R = Bu(t), Ph), since now the alkylidene unit effectively overlaps with the same d orbital Crystals of {[(Pri2PCH2-SiMe2)2N]ZrCl}(mu-eta2:eta2-N2)-CH3C6H5 are monoclinic},

The coordination chemistry of the potentially tridentate ligand -N(SiMe2CH2PR2)2 is developed starting with the Ni triad and then the heavier members of group 9, namely rhodium and iridium. It is with iridium that reactive fragments such as methylene and vinylidene have been stabilized and their chemistry examined. Extension to groups 3, 4, and the lanthanides is also discussed. With these elements, phosphine coordination imparts new reactivity patterns such as alkane elimination with group 3 and dinitrogen activation with group 4. In addition, the side-on binding mode for N2 attached to a dinuclear zirconium system is also presented.},
