Synthesis and Spectroscopic Properties of Dihydrogen Isocyanide Niobocene [Nb(
h5-C5H4SiMe3)2(h2-H2)(CNR)]+ Complexes. Experimental and Theroretical Study of the Blocked Rotation of a Coordinated Dihydrogen
Synthesis of stable hydride isocyanide derivatives Nb(eta(5)- C5H4SiMe3)(2)(H)(CNR) has been achieved through the formation of coordinatively unsaturated 16-electron species Nb(eta(5)- C5H4SiMe3)(2)H by thermolytic loss of H-2 followed by the coordination of an isocyanide ligand. Low-temperature protonation with a slight excess of CF3COOH leads to the eta(2)-dihydrogen complexes [Nb(eta(5)-C5H4SiMe3)(2)(eta(2)-H-2)(CNR)](+). NMR spectra of these H-H complexes and their monodeuterated H-D isotopomers present a single high-field resonance at room temperature. By lowering the temperature to 178 K, decoalescence of the signal was observed for the H-D complexes but not for the H-H ones. By combining DFT electronic structure calculations with a monodimensional rotational tunneling model, it has been shown that the absence of decoalescence of the H-H signal is due to the existence of a very large exchange coupling. Conversely, for the H-D isotopomer, the difference in zero point energy corresponding to two nonequivalent (H- D and D-H) positions leads to a slight asymmetry which dramatically reduces the exchange coupling, allowing decoalescence to be observed. Therefore, the H-D classical rotation and the quantum exchange processes will not be practically observed for this complex, whereas only the classical process for the H-H species is quenched out on the NMR time scale.

It shows a typical bent-metallocene geometry around the niobium atom with the eta(2)(C,O) ketene and methyl groups arrayed in the plane between the two cyclopentadienyl rings.

H-1 NMR studies on several unsymmetrical ketenimine-bearing chloro, hydride and methyl niobocene complexes containing E-Z isomeric mixtures were carried out, and it was found that intermolecular isomerization of the E and Z isomers may govern the different observed E-Z ratios. The structures of the different families of complexes were determined by spectroscopic methods.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Alkyl-Carbon Dioxide Compounds and the First Neutral Acyl-Carbonyl Niobocene Complexes
The olefin-hydride complexes Cp-2'Nb(H)(eta(2)-RHC=CH2) (Cp' = eta(5)- C5H4SiMe3; R = H (3), C6H5 (4, endo isomer)) were prepared by the alkylation reactions of [Cp-2'NbCl](2) (1) with the appropriate Grignard reagents RMgX (R = CH2CH3, CH2CH2C6H5) followed by a stereoselective beta-elimination from the intermediate alkyl complexes Cp-2'Nb(CH2CH2R). Complexes Cp-2'Nb(H)(eta(2)-RHC=CH2) (R = C6H4CH3 (5), C6H4OCH3 (6)) were prepared as a mixture of endo and exo isomers by reaction of Cp-2'NbH3 (2) with the corresponding olefin. Furthermore, reactions of CO with 3 and 4, and the reactions of CO2 with 3-6, afforded the alkylniobocene complexes Cp-2'Nb(CO)R (R = CH2CH3 (7), CH2CH2C6H5 (8)) Cp-2'Nb(eta(2)-CO2)(R) (R = CH2CH3 (9)), CH2CH2C6H5 (10), CH2CH2C6H4CH3 (11), CH2CH2C6H4OCH3 (12)). The reactivity of 9 and 10 toward the strong Lewis acid B(C6F5)(3) was also studied; in a first step the adducts Cp-2'Nb(eta(2)-CO2- B(C6F5)(3))(CH2CH2R) (R = H (13), C6H5 (14)) were formed and subsequently evolved to give the oxo-alkyl complexes Cp-2'Nb(O- B(C6F5)(3))(CH2CH2R) (R = H (15), C6H5 (16)) with the loss of CO. Finally, reactions of 3 and 4 with CO under appropriate conditions gave the neutral acylniobocene complexes Cp-2'Nb(CO)(eta(1)- C(O)CH2CH2R) (R = H (17), C6H5 (18)), which were alternatively prepared from the reactions of 7 and 8 with CO.

Oxidation of the complex Nb(eta(5)-C5H4SiMe3)(2)(eta(2)(C,C)- MeC=CCO2Me) (2d) under different experimental conditions gave rise to the divinylidene binuclear d(2) niobocene complex [(eta(5)- C5H4SiMe3)(2)(CO)Nb=C=C(CH3)(CH3)C=C=Nb(CO)(eta(5)- C5H4SiMe3)(2)][BPh4](2) (8a).

Exchange Coupling in Niobocene Trihydrides, Nb(C5H3RR')2H3, and Their Adducts with Copper Triad Cations, [{Nb(C5H3RR')2H3}2M]+ (R=R'=H; R=H,R'=SiMe3, R=R'=SiMe3; M=Cu, Ag, Au)
The reactions of Nb(C(5)H(3)RR')(2)Cl-2 with Red-Al followed by hydrolysis yield Nb(C(5)H(3)RR')(2)H-3 (R = R' = H, 1; R = H, R' = SiMe(3), 2; R = R' = SiMe(3), 3). These compounds react with Lewis acidic coinage cationic species, namely, [Cu(MeCN)(4)]PF6, AgBF4, and ''Au(THT)PF6'', prepared in situ from AuCl(THT) and TIPF6 in a 2 to 1 ratio to yield the adducts [{Nb(C(5)H(3)RR')(2)H-3}(2)M](+) (M = Cu, R = R' = H, 7; R = H, R' = SiMe(3), 8; R = R' = SiMe(3), 9; M = Ag, R = H, R' = SiMe(3), 10; R = R' = SiMe(3), 11; M = Au, R = R' = H, 12; R = H, R' = SiMe(3), 13; R = R' = SiMe(3), 14). Like 1, but unlike the corresponding tantalum derivatives Ta(C(5)H(3)RR')(2)H-3 (R = R' = H, 4; R = H, R' = SiMe(3), 5; R = R' = SiMe(3), 6), 2 and 3 show exchange couplings in their high-field H-1 NMR spectra due to a hydride tunneling phenomenon. The magnitudes of exchange couplings are larger in the cases of 2 and 3 than in the case of 1 as a result of the decrease of electron density upon increasing the number of SiMe(3) substituents on the Cp ring. The addition of a Lewis acidic cation results in the observation of an AB(2) pattern for the hydrides at room temperature, which splits at low temperature into an ABC one in agreement with a fluxional behavior of the cation which binds to two hydrides of each niobium center. The activation energy of these fluxional processes are close to 42-45 kJ . mol(-1) in the case of Cu adducts, 37 kJ . mol(-1) in the case of Ag adducts, and 40 kJ . mol(-1) in the case of Au adducts. The magnitude of exchange couplings is reduced upon addition of copper cation to 1-3, is of the same order of magnitude after addition of a silver cation, and is greatly increased by addition of a gold cation. A model is proposed to explain these variations which involves two isomeric states that are close in energy, one involving two bridging and one terminal hydrides on niobium and one involving one bridging hydride and a dihydrogen molecule. A line shape analysis experiment carried out on 14 allows determination of the parameters of the classical exchange, the coupling constants at various temperatures which reach 550 Hz at 347 K, and the parameters of the quantum mechanical exchange according to our proposed model. The structure of 14 has been studied by X-ray diffraction. The structure has been Solved from diffractometer data by Patterson method and refined by blocked full-matrix least squares on the basis of 3082 observed reflections to R and R(w) values of 0.0346 and 0.0381, respectively. The structure shows the presence of two bridging hydrides between the niobium and gold atoms; one of them is found close to the terminal hydride.

The reaction of hydride isocyanide complexes with activated alkynes gives cis- insertion resulting in the formation of (E)-alkenyl products. However, the hydride carbonyl derivative undergoes insertion to give, under kinetic control, a mixture of (E)- and (Z)-alkenyl isomers. Finally, the trihydride niobocene complex Nb(eta(5)- C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2)(H)(3), reacts with esters RO(2)CC=CCO(2)R' or MeO(2)CC=CH to give the hydride olefin derivatives, Nb(eta(5)- C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2)(H)[eta(2)-RO(2)C(H)=C(H)CO(2)R'], R=R'=Me 13; R=R'=(t)Bu 14; and Nb(eta(5)- C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2)(H)[eta(2)-MeO(2)C(H)=CH2] 15, probably as the result of a stereospecific trans- insertion.

Chemistry of h2-CS2 Niobocene Complexes: Synthesis and Characterization of New 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene Complexes via Reactions with Activated Alkynes
The reaction of CS2 with Cp'Nb-2(H)(eta(2)-CH2=CH2) or Cp'Nb-2(H)(eta(2)-CH2-CHPh) (Cp' = eta(5)- C(5)H(4)SiMe(3)) affords the alkylniobocene complexes Cp'Nb-2(Et)(eta(2)-CS2-C,S) (2) and Cp'Nb- 2(CH(2)CH(2)Ph)(eta(2)-CS2-C,S) (3), respectively. The interaction of eta(2)-CS2-containing complexes Cp'2NbCl(eta(2)-CS2-C,S) with alkynes bearing electron- withdrawing groups gives rise to a new family of 1,3- dithiol-2-ylidene niobocene species, Cp'(2)NbX(=CS(R)C=C(R)S) (6, X = Cl, R = CF3; 7, X = Cl, R = COOMe; 8, X = Cl, R = COO(t)Bu; 9, X = Et, R = COOMe; 10, X = Et, R = COO(t)Bu; 11, X = CH(2)CH(2)Ph, R = COOMe; 12, X = CH(2)CH(2)Ph, R = COO(t)Bu). In a similar way, with the carboxylate complexes Cp'Nb-2(OC(O)H- O)(eta(2)-CS2-C,S) (4) and Cp'Nb-2(OC(O)CH3-O)(eta(2)- CS2-C,S) (5) as starting materials, other 1,3-dithiol-2- ylidene species have been isolated Cp'Nb-2(OC(O)Y- O)(=CS(R)C=C(R)S) (13, Y = H, R = COOMe; 14, Y = H, R = COO(t)Bu; 15, Y = CH3, R = COOMe; 16, Y = CH3, R = COO(t)Bu). The structures of all complexes have been determined by spectroscopic methods. The structure of 2 was established by single-crystal diffractometry studies. The molecular structure shows a typical bent- sandwich geometry around the niobium atom with the ethyl and carbon disulfide ligands arrayed in the plane between the two cyclopentadienyl rings.
