The present manuscript deals with the synthesis and catalytic applications of organometallic transition metal compounds. First, the manuscript describes the synthesis and characterization of Schiff base adducts of methyltrioxorhenium (VII) and its application in olefin epoxidation catalysis with H2O2 as the oxidant. Second, the mechanistic features of the epoxidation reaction with cyclopentadienyl molybdenum alkyl complexes are described. Finally, a new family of highly stable cyclopentadienyl molybdenum and tungsten ansa complexes with cycloalkyl units as bridging moieties is reported. The remarkable epoxidation capabilities at moderate temperatures of these novel complexes are studied as well as being compared with those of previously synthesised related compounds.
