Niobium-containing metallasilsesquioxane complex

Recently, we succeeded in the synthesis and structural characterization of first niobium-containing metallasilsesquioxane complex. In analogy to the corresponding reactions with titanium tetraalkoxides, niobium pentaethoxide cleanly reacts with 3 in a 1 1 molar ratio to give high yields of dimeric [Cy7Si70i2Nb0Et( U-OEt)]2 (149) as a colorless, crystalline solid (Scheme 49).
