The synthesis, molecular structures and bonding properties of two uranium(iv) cyclobutadienyl half-sandwich complexes and a doubly activated cyclobutadienyl sandwich complex are described.
The functionalisation of the 16-electron complex [Os(η6-p-cymene)(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecarborane-1,2-dithiolato)] (1) with a series of Lewis bases to give the corresponding 18-electron complexes is reported.
A new coupling reaction for the synthesis of ruthenium half-sandwich complexes with sterically demanding cyclopentadienyl ligands
