The Front Cover shows a combination of the molecular structures of selected group 4 metal compounds discussed in the article and windmills characteristic to the landscape of our region in Northern Germany. Together with the investigated allyl and phenylacetylide ligands, the central metal atoms form the hub of the wind turbines. The blades symbolize the bond between the metal atom and the amido ligands, which form the tips of the blades. The spatial arrangement of the titanium, zirconium, and hafnium metals reflects their position in the periodic table of the elements. More information can be found in the Full Paper by R. Beckhaus et al.
The synthesis and characterization of organyl complexes derived from group 4 metal dicyclohexylamido complexes (Cy 2 N) 3 MCl (Cy: Cyclohexyl, M = Ti, Zr, Hf 1-M) is presented. The allyl Grignard reagent is used to obtain the corresponding group 4 allyl complexes 2-M, and lithium phenyl-[a
