The synthesis, bonding and properties of metal complexes with ligating Group 16 atoms O and S are discussed in this chapter. Despite the high electronegativity of these elements, M–OR and M–SR complexes show properties more consistent with coordination bonds of covalent character. Typical reactions such as the insertion of small molecules into M–O and M–S bonds, and coupling of thiolate ligands with organic ligands are presented.
