Silicon complexes with niobium

Compounds which accommodate agostic interactions of Si-H moieties with transition metals may also be considered as a special type of higher-coordinated silicon compounds. A few reviews on this matter are also available [36]. These include a recent general overview [37] and further publications on selected sub-topics such as platinum compounds [38] or niobium and tantalum complexes [39]. Complexes of this type are also discussed in comparison to C-H and H-H interactions with lanthanides [40].
