A structurally-characterized NbCl5–NHC adduct

Abstract

The selective reactions of niobium pentachloride with two bulky NHC carbenes afforded NbCl5(NHC) complexes, bearing the highest oxidation state ever found for a metal centre in a transition metal halideNHC adduct. The X-ray structure of 2a is the first one reported for a monodentate NHC–niobium species, and exhibits an abnormally long Nb–C bond.
