The first chiral diimido chelate complexes of molybdenum and tungsten: transition metal diimido complexes on the way to asymmetric catalysis

Abstract

The first complexes [M(TADDAMINat)Cl₂(dme)] (M = Mo (2), W (4)) containing a chiral diimido ligand regime have been synthesized; 2 has been structurally characterized and used as catalyst for C–C and C–N bond formation reactions.
