	abstract = {Reaction of CpMo(NO)(CH2Ph)Cl with Me2Mg, Ph2Mg, or PhCCLi reagents in THF affords the corresponding alkyl, aryl, or alkynyl CpMo(NO)(CH2Ph)R (R = hydrocarbyl) complexes as orange powders in good yields. Unlike related 16-electron CpMo(NO)R-2 complexes, these 18-electron species exhibit good thermal stability due to their eta (2)-benzyl-Mo interactions. Treatment of CpMo(NO)(CH2Ph)Cl with Na(DME)Cp provides dark green Cp2Mo(NO)(CH2Ph), whose solid-state molecular structure has been established by a single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis. The two Cp rings display different binding modes to the Mo atom, while the benzyl ligand is coordinated to the metal centre in an eta (1) fashion. The triflate complex, CpMo(NO)(CH2Ph)(OTf), is obtained by addition of AgOTf to the benzyl chloride precursor. The covalent Mo-OTf bond in this compound can be disrupted by the addition of Lewis bases (L) such as PPh3 or pyridine, leading to the corresponding [CpMo(NO)(CH2Ph)(L)][OTf] salts. Attempts to generate neutral benzylidene complexes by deprotonation of [CpMo(NO)(CH2Ph)(PPh3)][OTf] have not yet been successful.},

	abstract = {The solid-state molecular structure of Cp*W(NO)(CH2SiMe3)(eta(2)-CPhCH2) reveals that the vinyl ligand in this complex exists in a distorted form in the solid state that cannot be readily described by either of the classic eta(1)-vinyl or 1-metallacyclopropene limiting structures, by comparison to other crystallographically characterized vinyl complexes reported in the literature. However, the NMR parameters for the CPhCH2 fragment in this complex are characteristic of those of a 1-metallacyclopropene unit. In addition to these studies, a series of vinyl-containing species of the general formulas Cp*W(NO)(eta(2)-CPhCH2)(X) and Cp*W(NO)(eta(1)-CPh=CH2)(LX) (X = Cl, OTf; LX = O2CPh, (NHBu)-Bu-t, (PPh3)(H)) has been prepared, and the solid-state metrical parameters and solution NMR spectroscopic properties of these complexes have been examined and compared to those of other vinyl-containing complexes reported in the literature. It has been found that the nature of the tungsten-vinyl interaction in these compounds is dependent upon the donor strength of the one-electron (1e) X or 3e LX donor ligands that are also present in the tungsten coordination sphere.},
