Abstract

The first early transition metal tris(methimazolyl)borate complexes [M(=NR)Cl₂{HB(mt)₃}] (M = Nb, Ta; R = C₆H ₃ⁱPr₂-2,6; mt = methimazolyl) have been obtained from the reactions of [Nb(=NR)Cl₃(DME)] or [Ta(=NR)Cl ₃(THF)₂] (DME = dimethyl ether; THF = tetrahydrofuran) with Na[HB(mt)₃] and structurally characterized, illustrating that the HB(mt)₃ ligand can indeed be compatible with "hard" metals in high oxidation states.
