Niobocene hydride–silyl complexes exhibit intriguing structural characteristics with the potential for direct hydride/silyl exchange, where hydride migration plays a crucial role during conformational interconversion. In this study, quantum chemical calculations were utilized to investigate the transformation pathways involved in hydride/silyl exchange in niobocene trihydride complexes with various dichlorosilanes, including SiCl2Me2, SiCl2iPr2, and SiCl2MePh ligands. The conformational changes and hydride shifts within these niobocene hydride–silyl complexes were examined, and key intermediates were identified. Electronic wavefunction analysis provided insights into the coordination configurations and the nature of inter-ligand interactions. Interaction region indicator (IRI) analysis revealed Van der Waals interactions between chloride atoms and cyclopentadienyl rings, as well as between chloride atoms and Me, iPr, and Ph groups. Notably, distinct interactions between hydride ligands, including those from Si-H moieties and coordinated hydrogen atoms, were observed. Both lateral and central conformations, with respect to silicon coordination to the niobium center, were considered. This study enhances the understanding of intermediate conformations in the hydride/silyl exchange process and provides a detailed characterization of inter-ligand interactions, offering valuable insights for analyzing metallocene complexes with organic ligand coordination.
