	abstract = {The preparation and characterization of the macrocyclic diamido-diarsine ligand [As2N2] Li-2(1,4-dioxane) ( 1) ( where As2N2 = PhAs(CH2SiMe2NSiMe2CH2)(2)AsPh) and a series of early transition metal complexes are presented. The complexes [As2N2] MCl2 ( M = Zr, 2; Ti, 4) and the complex ( [As2N2]Y)(2)( mu-Cl)(2) (5) can be prepared by reaction of 1 with the corresponding THF adduct of the metal halide. The iodide derivative of 2, [As2N2] ZrI2 (3) can be prepared by reaction with iodotrimethylsilane. The lithium complex 1 displays a very long lithium arsenic bond distance of 3.162(10) Angstrom, and the yttrium complex 5 is the first known complex containing a yttrium arsenic bond. Reduction of 2, 3 or 4 using C8K or activated magnesium decomposed the complexes in such a manner that the ligand was separated from the metal centre. Indirect evidence suggests this may be due to reduction of arsenic in the ligand in preference to the metal.},

	abstract = {The vibrational and electronic structure of the side-on N-2-bridged Zr complex [{(P2N2)Zr}(2)(u-n(2):n(2)-N-2)] (P2N2=PhP(CH2SiMe2NSiMe2CH2)(2)PPh) were analyzed. The vibrational characterization of the planar Zr2N2 core was based on resonance Raman and infrared spectroscopy. In the Raman spectrum, the N-N stretching band is found at 775 cm(-1) with an isotope shift of 22 cm(-1). Due to its appearance in many overtones and combination modes, the metal-metal stretch is assigned to the peak at 295 cm(-1). The two ungerade modes of the Zr2N2 core were identified in the infrared spectrum. Based on these four vibrations of the Zr2N2 unit, a quantum chemical assisted normal coordinate analysis (OCA-NCA) was performed. The force constants for the N-N and Zr-N bonds were calculated to be 1.53 and 2.58 mdyn Angstrom(-1), respectively. The butterfly distortion of the Zr2N2 unit obtained in DFT geometry optimizations of planar side-on N-2-bridged Zr complexes was analyzed in more detail. It was found that on bending of the Zr2N2 core, the lone pairs of the axial amide ligands are rotated by 90degrees. The bent Zr2N2 unit is 11 kcal mol(-1) lower in energy than the planar core due to a more uniform distribution of electron density between the metal atoms and NZ and delocalization of electron density from the amide ligands to the Zr2N2 unit. The spectroscopic implications of this distortion are analyzed.},

Reduction attempts of the ((R{\textquoteright}R{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright})[NPN]VCl)(2) species with KC8 incorporated molecular nitrogen but were complicated by imide formation and ligand decomposition. Metathesis of 2 with NbCl2Me3 afforded the highly unstable complex (CyPh)[NPN]NbMe3, 15. Attempts to hydrogenate this species were unsuccessful.},
