	abstract = {Chiral diaminophenoxy proligands, H(NNR{\textquoteright}OR), where R = t-Bu, H and R{\textquoteright} = Me, H, have been developed and their respective zinc ethyl complexes, (NNR{\textquoteright}OR)ZnEt, 3a (R = t-Bu, R{\textquoteright} = Me), 3b (R = H, R{\textquoteright} = Me), 3c (R = t-Bu, R{\textquoteright} = H), have been synthesized. The reactivity of 3a with alcohols was explored in detail and compared to a compound reported by Hillmyer, Tolman et al., LZnEt (L = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-{[(2{\textquoteright}-dimethylaminoethyl)methylamino]-methyl}phenola te). Unlike LZnEt, 3a was inert toward ethanol (as well as methanol, isopropanol, and water). It reacted with phenol and with hydrochloric acid to form (NNMeOtBu)ZnOPh, 4a, and (NNMeOtBu)ZnCl, 5a, respectively. Racemic and enantiopure forms of 4a, (+/-)-4a and (R,R)-4a, were synthesized. The phenoxide complex catalyzed the ring opening polymerization of lactide to atactic poly(lactic acid).},

	abstract = {{A mechanistic study of the thermal decomposition of CpMo(NO)(CD(2)CMe(3))(2) in solution provides clear evidence for the formation of CpMo(NO)(=CDCMe(3)). This transient 16-electron neopentylidene complex, either alpha-protio or alpha-deuterio, reads with the heteroatom-hydrogen bonds of amines and alcohols (EHR; R = alkyl, aryl; E = NH, O) to form neopentyl amide and alkoxide complexes of the general form CpMo(NO)(CH(2)CMe(3))(ER). The solid-state molecular structure of CpMo(NO)(CH(2)CMe(3))(NH-p-tolyl) (4) has been determined as a representative three-legged piano-stool molecule in this class. Crystals of 4 are monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, with a = 11.243(2) Angstrom},
