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.

The title compound, [RuCl2(η6-C6H6)(C12H22ClP)]·CHCl3, was prepared by reaction of [RuCl2(η6-C6H6)]2 with chlorodicyclohexylphosphane in CHCl3 at 323 K under argon. The RuII atom is surrounded by one arene ligand, two Cl atoms and a phosphane ligand in a piano-stool geometry. The phosphane ligand is linked by the P atom, with an Ru—P bond length of 2.3247 (4) Å. Both cyclohexyl rings at the P atom adopt a chair conformation. In the crystal, the RuII complex molecule and the chloroform solvent molecule are linked by a bifurcated C—H(Cl,Cl) hydrogen bond. Intramolecular C—HCl hydrogen bonds are also observed.

The title compound, [Ru(CO3)(η6-C6H6){(C6H11)2P(CH2C10H7)}]·3CHCl3, was synthesized by carbonation of [RuCl2(η6-C6H6){(C6H11)2P(CH2C10H7)}] with NaHCO3 in methanol at room temperature. The RuII atom is surrounded by a benzene ligand, a chelating carbonate group and a phosphane ligand in a piano-stool configuration. The crystal packing is consolidated by C—HO and C—HCl hydrogen-bonding interactions between adjacent metal complexes and between the complexes and the solvent molecules. The asymmetric unit contains one metal complex and three chloroform solvent molecules of which only one was modelled. The estimated diffraction contributions of the other two strongly disordered chloroform solvent molecules were substracted from the observed diffraction data using the SQUEEZE procedure in PLATON [Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148–155].
