106. IHI consists of electron density transfer from the electron-rich metal-hydride bond on the antibonding σ*(Si-X) orbital of the trans Si-X bond, leading to the elongation of M-H bond, the contraction of M-Si bond, and the elongation of Si-X bond (refs. [14-16, 18, 28]).

108. 2H is classical but has short Nb-Si bonds (2.5597(5) and 2.5776(5) Å), owing to the presence of three electron-withdrawing chlorine groups at Si (ref. [26]).
109. The connectivity of this complex has been established but the over-all accuracy of this structure was low due to the poor quality of the crystal (ref. [18]).
