Hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate Dimethylamido Imido Niobium and Tantalum Complexes: Synthesis, Reactivity, Fluxional Behavior, and CāH Activation of the NMe<sub>2</sub> Function
The pseudo-octahedral dichlorido imido hydridotrisĀ(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)Āborate
niobium and tantalum compounds [MTp*Cl<sub>2</sub>(N<i>t</i>Bu)] (M = Nb (<b>1a</b>), Ta (<b>1b</b>); Tp* = BHĀ(3,5-Me<sub>2</sub>C<sub>3</sub>HN<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>) were prepared in
better yields by treatment of equimolar quantities of MCl<sub>3</sub>(N<i>t</i>Bu)Āpy<sub>2</sub> and KTp* in toluene at reflux.
Reactions of <b>1a</b>,<b>b</b> with a small excess of
LiNMe<sub>2</sub> (1:1.2 ratio) in toluene gave the corresponding
chlorido dimethylamido derivatives [MTp*ClĀ(NMe<sub>2</sub>)Ā(N<i>t</i>Bu)] (M = Nb (<b>2</b>), Ta (<b>3</b>)). Mixed
methyl dimethylamido [MTp*MeĀ(NMe<sub>2</sub>)Ā(N<i>t</i>Bu)]
(M = Nb (<b>4</b>), Ta (<b>5</b>)) complexes were synthesized
in good yields by heating for several days a mixture of <b>2</b> or <b>3</b> and MgClMe, in a 1:1 molar ratio. However, the
reactions of <b>1a</b>,<b>b</b> with excess LiNMe<sub>2</sub> led to bisĀ(dimethylamido) complexes [MTp*Ā(NMe<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(N<i>t</i>Bu)] (M = Nb (<b>6</b>), Ta
(<b>7</b>)) as unitary species. <b>4</b> and <b>5</b> reacted with BĀ(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub> to give the
cation-like complexes [MTp*Ā(NMe<sub>2</sub>)Ā(N<i>t</i>Bu)]<sup>+</sup>[BMeĀ(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>ā</sup> (M = Nb (<b>8</b>), Ta (<b>9</b>)), whereas in the case
of complexes <b>6</b> and <b>7</b> the reaction led to

restricted rotation process of the NMe<sub>2</sub> moiety around the
MāN<sub>amido</sub> bond in complexes <b>2</b>ā<b>7</b>, the pseudo-rotation process of the Tp* ligand into the
cationic species <b>8</b> and <b>9</b>, and the CH<sub>2</sub> terminal group around the Nī»CH<sub>2</sub> bond in
compounds <b>10</b> and <b>11</b> were observed and studied
by <sup>1</sup>H DNMR spectroscopy. The isomerization of two enantiomers
in the mixtures of <b>4</b> and <b>5</b> with BĀ(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub> was detected, and their mechanism
was proposed. All compounds were studied by IR and multinuclear NMR
(<sup>1</sup>H, <sup>13</sup>C, and <sup>15</sup>N) spectroscopy,
and the molecular structures of complexes <b>1a</b>,<b>b</b> and <b>3</b> were determined by X-ray diffraction methods
