Early transition metal thiolates

This article presents a comprehensive and systematic review of the syntheses, structures and reactivities of thiolate complexes of group 4 and 5 metals (i.e. Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb and Ta). This includes a discussion of monometallic and polymetallic species as well as recent advances in heterobimetallic derivatives. Specifically excluded are dithiolene derivatives of the early metals as these compounds have been previously reviewed.
