ChemInform Abstract
The size of the chelate ring determines the reactivity of Nb(V) complexes. Whereas the corresponding ethanedithiolato complex is completely stable in acetonitrile, in the case of the homologous title complex (I) a reductive dimerization takes place to yield (II). Treatment of (II) with methanol (III) leads to (IV) (space group P21/n; Z=4; no yield given). Both complexes are diamagnetic.
