Reactions of O2 with d0 transition metal complexes usually follow pathways different from those of dn transition metal complexes. Ligand oxidation is often observed in the reactions of the d0 complexes with O2. In this presentation, our recent studies of the reactions between O2 and following complexes will be presented: (a) zirconium amide amidinates Zr(NR2)2[MeC(NiPr)2]2 (R = Me, Et); (b) tantalum alkyl imides TaR2(=NSiMe3)[N(SiMe3)2] (R = Me, CH2Ph, CH2SiMe3).
