Organoniobium chemistry
open-in-new
<p>Organoniobium chemistry is the chemistry of compounds containing <a href="/facts/Niobium/3zNI8AKp">niobium</a>-<a href="/facts/Carbon/ukrgQexo">carbon</a> (Nb-C) bonds. Compared to the other group 5 transition metal <a href="/facts/Organometallic_chemistry/bhqFz2P0">organometallics</a>, the chemistry of organoniobium compounds most closely resembles that of <a href="/facts/Organotantalum_chemistry/nmpYDU1k">organotantalum</a> compounds. Organoniobium compounds of oxidation states +5, +4, +3, +2, +1, 0, −1, and −3 have been prepared, with the +5 oxidation state being the most common. </p>
