Cp{sub 2}Nb{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}({mu}-Cl{sub 2})(CO){sub 4} reacts with Cp{sub 2}Ni{sub 2}({mu}-SEt){sub 2} to yield paramagnetic CpNbCl{sub 2}({mu}-SEt){sub 2}NiCp: (g) = 2.004, A = 129 G; space group = P2{sub 1}/c,a = 7.466 (1) {Angstrom}, b = 28.427 (5) {Angstrom}, c = 8.620 (2) {Angstrom}, {beta} = 104.81 (1){degree}. CpNb(PhCCPh)({mu}-SPr{sup i}){sub 2}Mo(CO){sub 4} is synthesized by the addition of LiSPr{sup i} to CpNbCl{sub 2}PhCCPh resulting in formation of CpNb(SPr{sup i}){sub 2}(PhCCPh) followed by the reaction of the thiolate complex with Mo(MeCN){sub 3}(CO){sub 3} and CO (1 equiv). The crystal structure for CpNb(PhCCPh)({mu}-SPr{sup i}){sub 2}Mo(CO){sub 4} is reported and EHMO calculations of the bonding in CpNbCl{sub 2}({mu}-SEt{sub 2})NiCp were discussed. 27 refs., 5 figs., 5 tabs.
