TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the non-Cp organometallic chemistry of the ligands which have so far been explored for this purpose, commenting on the fine balance of steric and electronic properties necessary to stabilize monomeric, base-free organometall compounds of these metals.

TL;DR: A review of the recent progress in coordination and organometallic chemistry involving metal complexes of chelating diarylamido phosphine ligands, including bidentate amido phosphine [NP] −, tridentates amido diphosphine [PNP] −, and tridentate diamido phosphines [NPN] 2−, can be found in this paper.
233 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the crystal structure analysis confirmed the monomeric nature of complex 2, the coordination around the metal being quasi-linear with a C(1−Ag−Br bond angle of 169.4(1)° and a Ag−C( 1) bond length of 2.093(4) A.

TL;DR: Early transition metal complexes containing polydentate amido-donor ligands not only display unprecedented patterns of reactivity but are the focus of recent developments in olefin polymerization catalysis as discussed by the authors.
157 citations
TL;DR: Tridentate and tetradentate polyphosphines offer a huge variety of coordination modes to transition metals which lead, depending on the metal, to very different structural features in the resulting complexes as mentioned in this paper.
