As part of a study of the chemistry of metal-bound ketenes, we sought the preparation of niobocene-ketene complexes so as to extend our earlier work on vanadocene analogues. In the course of these studies, we have used unsymmetrically substituted ketenes to determine reaction stereoselectivities, herein we describe some unprecedented ketene isomerizations as well as a novel synthesis of the first ketene-hydride complex.
