15. Conventional reductions of neutral organometallic compounds, obtained from metal-atom vapor syntheses, to corresponding anions are well-established procedures, for example, for the conversion of bis(1,4-di-tert-butyl-1,3- butadiene)cobalt(0) into the corresponding anion, see F. G. N. Cloke, P. B. Hitchcock, A. McCamley, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. 1993, 248. However, this indirect route to metalates is not possible when appropriate neutral precursors are very short-lived or otherwise inaccessible.

Also, the average δC1/C4 value for 3, 57.3 ppm, is shifted upfield relative to the corresponding values for 1, 61.5, and the zirconate, 64.2 ppm, another measure of the very electron rich character of the niobium center.

For example, the average outer M-C1/C4 and inner M-C2/C3 bond lengths in 3 are 2.40(1) and 2.282(6), whereas the corresponding values for Wreford's tantalum naphthalene complex are 2.39(3) and 2.25(1) Å, respectively.

59. a) For example, in 5 the average outer and inner M-C bonds are 2.297(11) and 2.406(9) Å, respectively, whereas the corresponding values for 6 are 2.285(2) and 2.325(2) Å; b) for 5, the average outer and inner C-C bond lengths are 1.44(1) and 1.36(1) Å, respectively, whereas analogous values for 6 are 1.414(4) and 1.403(5). The corresponding average M-C and C-C bond lengths for niobate 4 are close to those of 5, but suggest that the niobium functions as a slightly weaker π donor than does tantalum in these complexes.
