Abstract

The complex [Nb(NMe2)2{(NMe2)C[double bond, length as m-dash]N(t)Bu}{N(2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3)}] reacts with trialkylguanidines and undergoes a room temperature C-N bond cleavage of the iminocarbamoyl moiety. This reaction affords the guanidinate complexes [Nb(NMe2)2{N(2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3)}{(N(i)Pr)2C(NH(i)Pr)}] or [Nb(NMe2)2{N(2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3)}{(N(i)Pr)2C(NH(n)Bu)}] and free isocyanide. The first crystal structure of a niobium iminocarbamoyl complex is reported.
