This Review summarizes reactions of Group 4 metallocene bis (trimethylsilyl) acetylene
complexes with nitriles and isonitriles. Selected examples of reactions of Group 4 …

Exploring new lanthanide metallacycles and finding their unique chemistry different from the
analogues of transition metals are of great interest and importance. In this work, we reported …

Active species for synthetic and catalytic applications are formed from well defined
complexes or mixtures of compounds. For group 4 metallocenes, three pathways for the …

We report the synthesis and reactivity of Zr complexes supported by a 9, 10-anthracenediyl-
linked bisphenoxide ligand, L. ZrIVLBn2 (1) undergoes facile photolytic reduction with …

The reactivity of the rare earth metal alkyl complexes L RE (CH2SiMe3)(THF) 2 (1 RE)[RE=
Y (1 Y), Yb (1 Yb), Lu (1 Lu); L= 2, 5-[(2-pyrrolyl) CPh2] 2 (N-methylpyrrole)] with various …

The coupling of similarly polarized carbon fragments can be achieved by a reductive
umpolung strategy. This gives access to compounds with functional groups in even bond …

As the key intermediates in metal‐promoted/catalyzed C− C bond coupling reactions of
nitriles and alkynes, azametallacyclopentadienes, M (N= CR1− CR2= CR3), are an …

Although the reaction of metallacyclopropenes toward alkyl and aryl nitriles has been
extensively studied, their reactivity toward other types of nitriles, eg, benzyl and benzoyl …

α-Diimines are commonly used as supporting ligands for a variety of transition metal-
catalyzed processes, most notably in α-olefin polymerization. They are also precursors to …

Abstract The reactions of [Cp* 2Ti (η2‐Me3SiC2SiMe3)](Cp*= η5‐
pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with various dicyano compounds were investigated. Nitrile …
