This article highlights some of our recent efforts and presents new data on the importance of cyclopentadienyl substituent effects on group 4 metallocene dinitrogen chemistry. Reactions such as the coordination of N2 to an isolated titanium sandwich complex, alkali-metal reductions of zirconocene dihalide complexes, alkane reductive elimination reactions, and the hydrogenation of zirconium dinitrogen complexes are all extremely sensitive to the groups present on the cyclopentadienyl rings. These results are promising for the future of N2 fixation, as the reactivity of a specific metallocene can be dramatically altered by subtle manipulations in ligand substituents.Key words: cyclopentadienyl, zirconium, dinitrogen, ammonia, sandwich.

The influence of mechanical force on the rates of model reductive elimination reactions depends on the structure of the force-transducing ligand and provides a measure of geometry changes upon reaching the transition state.

Thiols were found to cleave Au–C bonds in (C^N^C)gold(iii) pincer complexes and to induce C–S reductive elimination reactions, to give aryl thioethers.
