Abstract
We introduce the arsenido ligand onto the TiIV ion, yielding a remarkably covalent Ti≡As bond and the parent arsinidene Ti═AsH moiety. An anionic arsenido ligand is assembled via reductive decarbonylation involving the discrete TiII salt [K(cryptand)][(PN)2TiCl] (1) (cryptand = 222-Kryptofix) and Na(OCAs)(dioxane)1.5 in thf/toluene to produce the mixed alkali ate-complex [(PN)2Ti(As)]2(μ2-KNa(thf)2) (2) and the discrete salt [K(cryptand)][(PN)2Ti≡As] (3) featuring a terminal Ti≡As ligand. Protonation of 2 or 3 with various weak acids cleanly forms the parent arsinidene [(PN)2Ti═AsH] (4), which upon deprotonation with KCH2Ph in thf generates the more symmetric anionic arsenido [(PN)2Ti(As){μ2-K(thf)2}]2 (5). Experimental and computational studies suggest the pKa of 4 to be ∼23, and the bond orders in 2, 3, and 5 are all in the range of a Ti≡As triple bond, with decreasing bond order in 4.

Abstract
The μ-carbido complex [WPt(μ-C)Br(CO)2(PPh3)2(Tp*)] (Tp = hydrotris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) undergoes substitution of one phosphine ligand with isonitriles to afford complexes [WPt(μ-C)Br(CNR)(CO)2(PPh3)(Tp*)] (R = tBu, C6H3Me2-2,6, C6H2Me3-2,4,6). For aryl but not alkyl isocyanides disubstitution follows to afford [WPt(μ-C)Br(CNR)2(CO)2(Tp*)] (R = C6H2Me2-2,6, C6H2Me3-2,4,6). The bis(isonitrile) derivatives, including [WPt(μ-C)Br(CNtBu)2(CO)2(Tp*)], may also be prepared from the reactions of triangulo-[Pt3(CNR)6] with [W(CBr)(CO)2(Tp*)]. Bis- and tris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borate pro-ligand salts replace the bromide and one phosphine in [WPt(μ-C)Br(CNC6H2Me3)(CO)2(PPh3)(Tp*)] or the bromide and one isonitrile in [WPt(μ-C)Br(CNC6H2Me3)2(CO)2(Tp*)] to afford [WPt(μ-C)(CNC6H2Me3)(CO)2(Tp*)(L)] (L = κ2-Tp*, dihydrobis(pyrazolyl)borate). Structural, spectroscopic and computational data for the complexes are discussed to interrogate the nature of the WC-Pt carbido bridge by analogy with a range of other sp-C1 and sp-B1 ligands (CN, CCH, CP, CAs, CSb, CNO, BO, BNH and BCH2).

Abstract
Although synthesis, reactivity, and bonding of U(IV) and Th(IV) complexes have been extensively studied, direct comparison of fully analogous compounds is rare. Herein, we report corresponding complexes 1-U and 1-Th, in which U(IV) and Th(IV) are supported by the tetradentate pyridine-decorated dianionic ligand N2NN' (1,1,1-trimethyl-N-(2-(((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)(2-((trimethylsilyl)amino)benzyl)amino)methyl)phenyl)silanamine). Although 1-U and 1-Th are structurally very similar, they display disparate reactivities with TMS3SiK (tris(trimethylsilyl)silylpotassium). The reaction of (N2NN')UCl2 (1-U) and 1 equiv of TMS3SiK in THF unexpectedly formed [Cl(N2NN')U]2O (2-U) featuring an unusual bent U-O-U moiety. In contrast, a salt elimination reaction between (N2NN')ThCl2 (1-Th) and 1 equiv of TMS3SiK led to thorium complex 2-Th, in which the pyridyl group has undergone a 1,4-addition nucleophilic attack. Complex 2-Th serves as a synthon for preparing dimetallic bis-azide complex 3-Th by reaction with NaN3. The complexes were characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction, solution NMR, FT-IR, and elemental analysis. Computations of the formation mechanism of 2-U from 1-U suggest reduced U(III) as a key intermediate for promoting the cleavage of the C-O bonds of THF. The inaccessible nature of Th(III) as an intermediate oxidation state explains the very different reactivity of 1-Th versus 1-U. Given that reactants 1-U and 1-Th and products 2-U and 2-Th all comprise tetravalent actinides, this is an unusual case of very disparate reactivity despite no net change in the oxidation state. Complexes 2-U and 3-Th provide a basis for the synthesis of other dinuclear actinide complexes with novel reactivity and properties.

Abstract
The reactivity of the tungsten diphenylarsinocarbyne [W(CAsPh2)(CO)2(Tp*)] (1; Tp* = hydrotris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borato) is described. The pyramidal arsenic coordinates to a selection of 5d metal centres, forming heterobi- or trimetallic complexes with osmium(II), iridium(III), platinum(II) and gold(I). In the latter case, the WC bond provides a competitive site for gold(I) coordination. Treatment with MeOSO2CF3 results in methylation at arsenic to give the first example of an arsoniocarbyne, [W(CAsPh2CH3)(CO)2(Tp*)]O3SCF3, for which only the WC bond remains available for gold(I) coordination.

Abstract
The photochemical activation of the C(sp)-C(sp2) bond in Pt(0)-η2-aryl-phosphaalkyne complexes leads selectively to coordination compounds of the type LnPt(aryl)(C≡P). The oxidative addition reaction is a novel, clean, and atom-economic route for the synthesis of reactive terminal Pt(II)-cyaphido complexes, which can undergo [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with organic azides, yielding the corresponding Pt(II)-triazaphospholato complexes. The C-C bond cleavage reaction is thermodynamically uphill. Upon heating, the reverse and quantitative reductive elimination toward the Pt(0)-phosphaalkyne-π-complex is observed.

Abstract
Molecules with different resonance structures of similar importance, such as heterocumulenes and mesoionics, are prominent in many applications of chemistry, including 'click chemistry', photochemistry, switching and sensing. In coordination chemistry, similar chameleonic/schizophrenic entities are referred to as ambidentate/ambiphilic or cooperative ligands. Examples of these had remained, for a long time, limited to a handful of archetypal compounds that were mere curiosities. In this Review, we describe ambiphilicity - or, rather, 'charge frustration' - as a general guiding principle for ligand design and functional group transfer. We first give a historical account of organic zwitterions and discuss their electronic structures and applications. Our discussion then focuses on zwitterionic ligands and their metal complexes, such as those of ylidic and redox-active ligands. Finally, we present new approaches to single-atom transfer using cumulated small molecules and outline emerging areas, such as bond activation and stable donor-acceptor ligand systems for reversible 1e- chemistry or switching.

Abstract
We highlight recent advances in organopnictogen chemistry contrasting the properties of lighter and heavier pnictogens. Exploring new bonding situations, discovering unprecedented reactivities and producing fascinating opto-electronic materials are some of the most prominent directions of current organopnicogen research. Expanding the chemical toolbox towards the heavier group 15 elements will continue to create new opportunities to tailor molecular properties for small molecule activation/reactivity and materials applications alike. This frontier article illustrates the elemental substitution approach in selected literature examples.
