Abstract
Transition metals form a variety of alkylidyne complexes with either a d0 metal center (high-valent) or a non-d0 metal center (low-valent). One of the most interesting properties of alkylidyne complexes is that they can undergo or mediate metathesis reactions. The most well-studied metathesis reactions are alkyne metathesis involving high-valent alkylidynes. High-valent alkylidynes can also undergo metathesis reactions with heterotriple bonded species such as N≡CR, P≡CR, and N≡NR+. Metathesis reactions involving low-valent alkylidynes are less known. Highly efficient alkyne metathesis catalysts have been developed based on Mo(VI) and W(VI) alkylidynes. Catalytic cross-metathesis of nitriles with alkynes has also been achieved with M(VI) (M = W, Mo) alkylidyne or nitrido complexes. The metathesis activity of alkylidyne complexes is sensitively dependent on metals, supporting ligands and substituents of alkylidynes. Beyond metathesis, metal alkylidynes can also promote other reactions including alkyne polymerization. The remaining shortcomings and opportunities in the field are assessed.

Abstract
A new type of dititanium dinitrogen complex supported by a triphenolamine (TPA) ligand is reported. Analysis by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman and NMR spectroscopy reveals different coordination geometries for the two titanium centers. Hence, coordination of TPA and a nitrogen ligand results in trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, while an octahedral titanium center is obtained upon additional coordination of an ethoxide generated upon C-O bond cleavage in a diethyl ether solvent molecule. The titanium complex successfully generates ammonia in the presence of an excess amount of PCy3HI and KC8 in 154% yield (per titanium atom). A titanium complex with a bulkier TPA does not form a dinitrogen complex, and mononuclear titanium dinitrogen complexes were not accessible, presumably because of the high tendency of early transition metals to form binuclear dinitrogen complexes.

Abstract
Facile α-H elimination from tetrakis(trimethylsilylmethyl)titanium precursors to give adducts of (alkylidene)bis(alkyl)titanium complexes is induced by light alkali metal amides of the NNNN-type macrocyclic anionic ligand Me3 TACD [(Me3 TACD)H=1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane]. In the crystal, the alkali metal interacts with the carbene carbon atom or with the CH2 group of the trimethylsilymethyl ligand. The nucleophilic character of the carbene carbon atom was shown by the reaction with benzophenone and terminal acetylenes.

Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O, ‘laughing gas’) is a very inert molecule. Still, it can be used as a reagent in synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry, serving as O-atom donor, as N-atom donor, or as a oxidant in metal-catalyzed reactions.

Abstract
Methyl triflate reacts with the metastable azoxymetallacyclopentene complex Cp*2Zr(N(O)NCPhCPh), generated in situ from nitrous oxide insertion into the Zr-C bond of Cp*2Zr(η2-PhCCPh) at -78 °C, to afford the salt [Cp*2Zr(N(O)N(Me)CPhCPh)][O3SCF3] (1) in 48% isolated yield. A single-crystal X-ray structure of 1 features a planar azoxymetallacycle with methyl alkylation taking place only at the β-nitrogen position of the former Zr(N(O)NCPhCPh) scaffold. In addition to 1, the methoxy-triflato complex Cp*2Zr(OMe)(O3SCF3) (2) was also isolated from the reaction mixture in 26% yield and fully characterized, including its independent synthesis from the alkylation of Cp*2Zr=O(NC5H5) with MeO3SCF3. Complex 2 could also be observed, spectroscopically, from the thermolysis of 1 (80 °C, 2 days). In contrast to Cp*2Zr(N(O)NPhCCPh), the more stable titanium N2O-inserted analogue, Cp*2Ti(N(O)NCPhCPh), reacts with MeO3SCF3 to afford a 1:1 mixture of regioisomeric salts, [Cp*2Ti(N(O)N(Me)CPhCPh)][O3SCF3] (3) and [Cp*2Ti(N(OMe)NCPhCPh)][O3SCF3] (4), in a combined 65% isolated yield. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of a cocrystal of 3 and 4 show a 1:1 mixture of azoxymetallacyle salts resulting from methyl alkylation at both the β-nitrogen and the β-oxygen of the former Ti(N(O)NCPhCPh ring. As opposed to alkylation reactions, the one-electron reduction of Cp*2Ti(N(O)NCPhCPh) with KC8, followed by encapsulation with the cryptand 2,2,2-Kryptofix, resulted in the isolation of the discrete radical anion [K(2,2,2-Kryptofix)][Cp*2Ti(N(O)NCPhCPh)] (5) in 68% yield. Complex 5 was studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and its solution X-band EPR spectrum suggested a nonbonding σ-type wedge hybrid orbital on titanium, d(z2)/d(x2-y2), houses the unpaired electron, without perturbing the azoxymetallacycle core in Cp*2Ti(N(O)NCPhCPh). Theoretical studies of Ti and the Zr analogue are also presented and discussed.
