Claim:
A compound of formula I: where R and R 1 are independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl and cyano; R 5 and R 6 are independently selected from bromine and chlorine; a is 0 or 1; and when a is 1, D is —O—; E is a bridging group *—(CH 2 ) i —(CH 2 ) j —(CH 2 ) k —Q l —(CH 2 ) m —(CH 2 ) n —(CH 2 ) o —, where the asterisk denotes attachment at D; i, j, k, l, m, n and o are integers independently selected from 0 and 1; and when l is 1, Q is a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring containing from 1 to 4 nitrogen atoms and 0 to 1 oxygen or sulfur atom; With the proviso that when Q is a cyclic moiety of the structure; E 1 is selected from the group consisting of —CR 34 ═CR 35 —, *—CR 34 ═N—, *—N═CR 34 —, —N═N—, *—C(═O)CR 34 —, *—CR 24 C(═O)—, —CR 34 R 35 CR 36 R 37 —, *—C(═O)NR 34 —, *—NR 34 C(═O)—, *—S(O) s CR 34 R 35 —, *—S(O) s NR 34 —, *—OCR 34 R 35 —, *—CR 34 R 35 —, *—CR 34 R 35 O— and —C(═O)— where the asterisk denotes attachment to the nitrogen designated as 1 in Q, s is 0, 1 or 2, and R 34 through R 37 , inclusively, are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxycarbonyl, nitro, cyano, amino, alkylamino and aryl; and G 1 is selected from the group consisting of O, S, N—J 1 , or C—J 1 , where J 1 is cyano or nitro; b is an integer selected from 0 or 1; and, when b is 1, G is selected from the group consisting of —O—, —CH 2 O—, —CH═CH—, —S(O) h —, —S(O) h CH 2 —, —S(O) h C 2 H 4 —, —HC═N—, —C(═O)—, —OC(═O)—, —C(═O)O—, —C(═O)C 2 H 4 —, —C(═O)OCH 2 —, —C(═O)CH 2 —, —C(═O)NH—, —NR 14 —, —N(oxide)R 14 — and —NR 14 C(═O)— where h is 0, 1 or 2 and R 14 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, arylalkyl, alkenylalkyl, haloalkenylalkyl, dialkylphosphonate, alkylcarbonyl, haloalkylcarbonyl, alkoxyalkylcarbonyl, arylcarbonyl and alkylsulfonyl; U is selected from the group consisting of: where; R 7 , R 8 , R 10 and R 11 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen; R 9 selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen and haloalkyl; R 15 is alkoxycarbonyl; R 16 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl and haloalkyl; R 40 and R 41 are each, independently, alkyl; provided that when (a) R, R 1 , R 5 and R 6 are chlorine; (b) a, i, j, k, n, and o are 0; (c) B 1 is —CH—; (d) m is 1 and (e) U is group X where R 7 through R 11 are hydrogen, then b is 1; and agriculturally acceptable salts thereof.
