Synthesis of the 1st dicyclopentadienylniobium species containing iminoacyl groups A1 Martínez de Ilarduya, Jesús María A1 Otero Montero, Antonio A1 Royo Gracia, Pascual K1 Niobocene complexes K1 Iminoacyl groups K1 Ciencia K1 Química inorgánica K1 Science K1 Chemistry, inorganic AB The reduction of the niobocene complexes Nb(η5-C5H3RR′)2Cl2 (R = H, R′ = SiMe3 (I); R = R′ = SiMe3 (II)) with one equivalent of (1%) sodium amalgam in the presence of an isocyanide ligand R″NC yields Nb(η5-5H3RR′)2Cl(CNR″) (R = H, R′ = SiMe3, R″ = Cy = cyclohexyl (III); tBu (IV); Ph (V); 2,6-Me2C6H3 (VI), and R = R′ = SiMe3, R″ = Cy (VII), tBu (VIII)). Reactions of III and V with LiMe and LiCH2SiMe3 give the thermally stable iminoacyl compounds [Nb(η5-C5H4SiMe3)2-(CRNR′)]n(R = Me, R′ = Cy (IX); R = CH2SiMe3, R′ = Cy (X) and R = Me, R′ = Ph (XII)), through spontaneous insertion of the isocyanide ligand into the alkyl-niobium bond. Insertion of t-BuNC into the metal-alkyl bond in IV was not observed, and only the alkyl isocyanide derivative Nb(η5-C5H4SiMe3)2(Me)(CNtBu) (XI) was isolated. The compounds were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy.
