Abstract
The asymmetric bis-imido structure and the lability of the diethyl ether linkage in complex 1 provide a niobium complex that undergoes regioselective [4+2] cycloaddition reactions with an α,β-unsaturated ketone and cycloaddition reactions that involve bond formation to the MAD ligand (MonoAzabutaDiene). DFT calculations have been used to support an initial azametallacyclobutene intermediate in the alkyne reaction. This journal is
