Abstract
A series of zinc complexes bearing the anilido-imino ligand [(o-C6H4{N(C6H3iPr2)}{C(CH3) = NC6H3iPr2})] [(LDipp)ZnX] has been generated. This includes two amide derivatives, [(LDipp)Zn(N{SiMe3}2)] and [(LDipp)Zn(NH{Dipp})] and two phosphanide derivatives, [(LDipp)ZnPCy2] and [(LDipp)ZnPPh2]. The chemistry of the phosphanide complexes towards chalcogens was examined, with sulfur, selenium and tellurium oxidising the phosphorus centre of the dicylohexylphosphanide complex [(LDipp)ZnPCy2] to form [(LDipp)Zn(E)2PCy2] (E = S, Se, Te). Addition of tellurium to the diphenylphosphanide complex [(LDipp)ZnPPh2] results in formation of Ph2PPPh2 and [(LDipp)ZnTeZn(LDipp)]. The absorption and emission properties of these complexes was examined and the quantum yields are highly dependent upon the non-ancillary ligand X.

Abstract
A rare terminal cadmium hydride complex has been synthesised. Reduction to the cadmium(i) dimer complex was achieved upon treatment with carbodiimides.

Abstract
The reactivity of tin and lead phosphanido complexes with chalogens is reported. The addition of sulfur to [(BDI)MPCy2] (M = Sn, Pb; BDI = CH{(CH3)CN-2,6-iPr2C6H3}2) results in the formation of phosphinodithioates [(BDI)MSP(S)Cy2] regardless of the conditions; however, when selenium is added to [(BDI)MPCy2], a selenium insertion product, phosphinoselenoite [(BDI)MSePCy2], can be isolated. This compound readily reacts with additional selenium to form the phosphinodiselenoate complex [(BDI)MSeP(Se)Cy2]. In contrast, the addition of selenium to [(BDI)SnP(SiMe3)2] results in the formation of the heavy ether [(BDI)SnSeSiMe3]. Differences in the solution and solid-state molecular species of tin phosphinoselenoite and phosphinodiselenoate complexes were probed using multinuclear solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Heteroleptic zinc and cadmium complexes of the type [{Me2N^E^OR2}M-Nu]n (M = Zn, Cd; E = S, Se; R = CH3, CF3; Nu = N(SiMe3)2, I, Cl; n = 1-2) were prepared by reacting the alcohol proteo-ligands {Me2N^E^OR2}H with [M(N(SiMe3)2)2] (M = Zn, Cd) or [XMN(SiMe3)2] (M = Zn, X = Cl; M = Cd, X = I) in an equimolar ratio. These group 12 metal complexes were characterised in solution by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and their solid-state structures were determined by X-ray diffractometry. The ligands {Me2N^E^O(CH3)2}- bearing CH3 groups in α position to the alkoxide behave as κ2-O,E-bidentate moieties (E = S, Se) and form centro-symmetric dinuclear O-bridged heteroleptic alkoxo-amido complexes both with zinc and cadmium, with four-coordinate metal centres resting in tetrahedral environments. By contrast, complexes supported by the CF3-substituted {Me2N^E^O(CF3)2}- crystallise as tetrahedral mononuclear species, with tridentate κ3-N,O,E-coordinated ligands. These structural differences resulting from changes in the ligand skeleton and in the electron-donating properties of the alkoxide were also observed in solution. Attempts to prepare congeneric heteroleptic mercury complexes from [Hg(N(SiMe3)2)2] unexpectedly only afforded homoleptic bis(alkoxide)s such as [{Me2N^S^O(CF3)2}2Hg]. Owing to the strong Hg-C bond, treatment of [PhHgN(SiMe3)2] with {Me2N^S^O(CF3)2}H afforded the heteroleptic, T-shaped [{Me2N^S^O(CF3)2}HgPh] mercuric alkoxide upon elimination of hexamethyldisilazane. [{Me2N^S^O(CF3)2}2Hg] and [{Me2N^S^O(CF3)2}HgPh] constitute very rare examples of structurally characterised mercuric alkoxides.
