Abstract
Reactions of Cp(NAr)NbMe2 with H-2 and HSiMe2Cl are described. With H-2 (1 atm) an apparent sigma -bond metathesis process is accompanied by reduction to form the binuclear, metal-metal bonded species [CpNb(mu -NAr)Me](2) (Nb -Nb = 2.6852(4) Angstrom). With HSiMe2Cl (excess) Cp(NAr)NbMeCl is obtained in quantitative yield. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
