The title dinuclear half-sandwich complex, [CpTi(OCH=CH2)(μ2-N-iPr)]2 (Cp = cyclopentadienyl; iPr = isopropyl), was obtained from the reaction of Cp2TiCl2, n-butyllithium and isopropylamine in tetrahydrofuran. Each TiIV atom is coordinated by one Cp ligand, one vinyloxy unit and two bridging imido groups in a strongly distorted tetrahedral geometry. There are two half molecules in the asymmetric unit, such that whole molecules being generated by inversion symmetry.

In the title compound, [Zr(C10H15)2(C14H12NO)(CN)], the ZrIV atom is coordinated by two pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands, the amidate ligand via the N and O atoms, and an additional CN ligand. The four-membered metallacycle is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å). In the crystal, the molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via pairs of N—HN hydrogen bonds.
