Hiromi Tobita and colleagues look into the reactions of bis(silyl)hydrido molybdenum and tungsten complexes in this Dalton Transactions Hot article. They were able to generate a 16-electron species, which when reacted with nitriles led to hydrosilylation of their CN triple bonds to give N-silylimine complexes, even at room temperature.
Synthesis and characterisation of hydrido molybdenum and tungsten complexes having a hemilabile tridentate Si,Si,O-ligand: observation of stepwise hydrosilylation of a nitrile to form an N-silylimine on the metal centre

Controlling the growth of low dimensional nanostructures of organometallic complexes with well-defined properties is a significant and ongoing challenge within nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Huibiao Liu, Yuliang Li and co-workers, from the CAS Key Laboratory of Organic Solids in Beijing have made inroads into this challenge by controlling the growth of the nanowire–nanotube junctions of a dichloro-bridged dimeric iridium complex optimising the material for use in LEDs.
