Permethylniobocene (III) olefin hydride complexes, Cp* 2Nb (CH2= CHR)(H)(Cp*= rr-C5Me5), havebeen prepared by the reaction of Cp* 2NbH3 with the corresponding olefin (R= H, Ph, p-Me2NC6H4,/>-MeOC6H4, p-MeC6H4, p-CF3C6H4) and by the reaction of Cp* 2NbCl2 with the corresponding alkyl Grignard reagent (R= H, Me). The product of migratory insertion of the olefin into the niobium-hydride bond is trapped by carbon monoxide or methyl isocyanide to give the permethylniobocene (III) alkyl carbonyl and methyl isocyanide derivatives, Cp* 2Nb (CH2CH2R)(L). The kinetics of the hydride-olefin insertion have been studied by* H NMR spectroscopy using magnetization transfer and coalescence techniques. Ground-state effects of olefin coordination were assessed by examining equilibria for competitive binding of ethylene and olefin (CH2= CHR, R^ H) to [Cp* 2NbH], The data indicate that steric and electronic effects compete in the ground state. The mechanism of olefin insertion into the Nb-H bond is discussed in terms of a model involving a concerted cyclic four-center transition state. Electronic effects are found to dominate in the transition state and indicate the development of partial positive charge at the ß carbon with the hydride moving as H~, although the best linear free energy fit of therate of insertion for the para-substituted styrenes indicates a rather modest value of-0.64 for p. Kinetic and thermodynamic isotope effects support the proposed model.
