A dramatic change in binding mode is observed upon reduction from NiII to NiI. The NiI derivatives include an unprecedented NiI bis(C-H) agostic complex and a two-coordinate NiI complex.},

	abstract = {A series of dichloride complexes of titanium and zirconium with amidate and ureate ancillary ligands have been prepared, Three examples of bis(amidate)dichlorotitanium and zirconium complexes were effectively synthesized through salt metathesis with metal tetrachloride as starting materials. Optimum results were achieved using sodium amidate salts formed from sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and neutral amide proligands, while other methods were ineffective. Use of electron-donating ureate ligands in lieu of amidates enables preparation through alternate routes. Protonolysis of Ti(NMe2)(2)Cl-2 and Zr(NMe2)(2)Cl-2(dme) with urea proligands leads to dichlorobis(ureate) complexes in good yield. Using a tethered bis(ureate) ligand eliminates the fluxional behaviour and coordination isomerism observed for both bis(amidate) and bis(ureate) zirconium complexes. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH \& Co.

	abstract = {A photo and thermally stable bis(amidate)-dibenzyl complex of Hf ([(DMP)(NO)(Ph)](2)Hf(CH2Ph)(2)(THF) (2a) was formed as a monosolvated THF adduct in near quantitative yield from Hf(CH2Ph)(4) and N-2,6-dimethylphenyl(phenyl)amide (1). Isomerization between the THF-bound product and the THF-free product can be observed visually by the conversion from a red-orange product at low temperatures to a pale yellow product at high temperatures. Solid-state crystallographic characterization of the orange product confirmed its constitution as a monosolvated species. Kinetic parameters for the exchange of the THF moiety were determined from variable-temperature NMR experiments. The product of the hydrolysis of the Hf dibenzyl species by water was characterized by X-ray crystallography, and was found to be a rare tetrametallic Hf oxo cluster species (3).},
