Transition metal and main group compounds bearing η1-indenyl ligands have figured
importantly since the beginnings of organometallic chemistry, and continue to attract …

As the key intermediates in metal-catalyzed [2+ 2+ 2] cycloaddition reactions of three
alkynes, main-group and transition-metal metallacycloheptatrienes have been studied for …

Palladium complexes of a variety of β-and γ-iminophosphines have been prepared and
characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. Their properties as catalyst for three different Stille …

Abstract η 2-Imine complexes of zirconium, or zirconaaziridines, have attracted attention as
amino carbanion equivalents. They can be prepared from an amine via C–H activation …

We have investigated the reaction of isonitriles (RNC) with electronically unsaturated diene
complexes of Ti and Hf. Cp*(Cl) Ti (2, 3-dimethylbutadiene)(1) reacts with 2 equiv of RNC to …

A zirconacyclopentene incorporating a carboranyl unit 1, 2-[Cp2ZrC (Et) C (Et)]-1, 2-
C2B10H10 (1), an analogue of well-known zirconacyclopentadienes, was prepared and …

New families of monomeric to dendritic, and monocationic to multicationic (PNP) compounds
have been prepared and tested as catalysts in halogen exchange (Halex) reactions. Some …

Zirconium-induced cyclodimerization of a variety of heteroaryl-substituted alkynes is
described. This method provides a facile synthesis of tetrasubstituted cyclobutenes with high …

Benzo-zirconacyclohexadiene-phospha or silacyclobutene fused ring systems are easily
prepared via a benzynezirconocene intermediate by means of thermolysis of Cp2ZrPh2 in …

The reactions of [Ti (η5-Ind)(NMe2) 2Me],[Ti (η5-Ind)(NMe2) Cl2], and [Zr (η5-Ind)(NMe2)
2Cl] with 2, 6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (CN (2, 6-Me2Ph)) and tert-butyl isocyanide (CN-t …
