Reactions of Cp(NAr)NbMe2 with H-2 and HSiMe2Cl. Molecular structure of [CpNb(mu-NAr)Me](2) (Ar=2,6-(C6H3Pr2)-Pr-i)

Reactions of Cp(NAr)NbMe2 with H2 and HSiMe2Cl are described. With H2 (1 atm) an apparent σ-bond metathesis process is accompanied by reduction to form the binuclear, metal-metal bonded species [CpNb(μ-NAr)Me]2 (Nb-Nb=2.6852(4) Å). With HSiMe2Cl (excess) Cp(NAr)NbMeCl is obtained in quantitative yie...
