	abstract = {A high-yielding synthetic route is disclosed for yttrium bis- and mono(amidate) complexes using the reaction of amide proligand and Y(N(SiMe3)(2))(3) starting materials. The structure, bonding, and solution phase characterization data for this new class of complexes are presented. The modular nature of the amidate ligand allows for easy addition of electron-withdrawing CF3 groups in the ligand backbone to tune electronic properties of the resulting precatalysts. The amidate ligands in the bis(amidate) complexes were found to be highly fluxional on the NMR time scale, while the mono(amidate) yttrium complex required heating to 110 degrees C before ligand redistribution was observed. Three bis(amidate) complexes with differing electronic properties and one mono(amidate) complex have been used as precatalysts for hydroamination using a wide range of aminoalkene substrates. Bis(amidate) complexes bearing the more electron-withdrawing amidate ligands were found to be the most active precatalysts for intramolecular alkene hydroamination.},

	abstract = {The preparation, characterisation and structural analysis of a series of zirconium(IV) complexes that incorporate the diamido/diamine macrocyclic ligand Bn(2)Cyclam (Bn(2)Cyclam = 1,8-dibenzyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) are described. The reaction of one or two equivalents of the appropriate LiNHR reagents with [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl2] give the corresponding amido-chloride [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl(NHR)] (R = Bu-t, Ph-2,Ph-6-iPr) or bis(amido) [(Bn(2)Cyclam) Zr(NHR)(2)] (R = Pr-i, Bu-t, Ph-2,Ph-6-Me) complexes, respectively. Treatment of [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl(NH2,6- iPrPh)] with one equiv. of MgClMe gives the base-free, monomeric imido complex [(Bn(2)Cyclam)Zr(N2,6-iPrPh)]. The reaction of the tBu analog with MgClMe generates a dimeric bridging imido species [{(Bn(2)Cyclam)Zr}(2)(mu-NR)(2)], which can also be obtained by thermal decomposition of [(Bn(2)Cyclam)Zr(NHtBu)(2)] in toluene. The bis(hydrazido) complex [(Bn(2)Cyclam)Zr(NHNPh2)(2)] was obtained by reaction of [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl2] and two equiv. of LiNHNPh2. A hydrazido-chloride compound [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl(N(Ph)NBu(Ph))] was generated in a one-pot reaction between [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrCl2], LiBu and azobenzene. DFT calculations on [(Bn(2)Cyclam)ZrXY] complexes indicate that the coordination geometry adopted by these species is dictated by the steric bulk of the ligands X and Y, varying between six-coordinate prismatic and four-coordinate tetrahedral.},
