Second only to sulfur-based systems, nitrogen complexes are relatively well represented in the structural literature with 41 complexes reported. Of these, 25 are with I2 as the electron acceptor, 11 are with the interhalogen IC1, three are with Br2, and two are with IBr. As expected, in every case the halogen bond forms between the nitrogen and the softest halogen atom, i.e., iodine, in all of the complexes except those with dibromine. Most N I2 complexes, and all N Br2, N IBr, and N IC1 complexes are simple adducts, mode A. Exceptions for the diiodine complexes include bridging mode (B) observed for diazines, such as pyrazine [86], tetramethylpyrazine [86], phenazine, and quinoxaline [87], and for 9-chloroacridine [89] and the 1 1 complex of diiodine with hexamethylenetetramine [144] and amphoteric bridging mode (BA) observed for 2,2 -bipyridine [85], acridine [89], 9-chloroacridine [89], and 2,3,5,6-tetra-2/-pyridylpyrazine [91]. The occurrence of both B and BA complexes with 9-chloroacridine, and of B and A complexes and an... 

Two cyclopentadienyl-sandwiched Cp2ZrX2/MAO complexes (Cp = cyclopentadienyl X = halogen or alkyl) with C2v-symmetry form the earliest metallocene system that has been used for ethylene homopolymerization with remarkably high activity. The application in propylene polymerization is less useful. They produce PP with low activity and low molecular weight.f Unexpectedly, the Cp2TiPh2/MAO system can be used for the synthesis of predominately i-PP below room temperature. The stereochemical structure of the resulting polymer indicates a chain-end-controlled model in the polymerization. Bridged C2v-symmetric...
