Various primary silanes can be employed to give isolable complexes of the general formula ([NPN]TaH)(mu-N-N-SiHnR3-n)(mu-H)(2)(Ta[NPN]) (5}, keywords = {CATALYTIC-REDUCTION, END-ON, LIGAND, METAL-COMPLEXES, MOLECULAR NITROGEN, MOLYBDENUM, N BOND-CLEAVAGE, SIDE-ON, TERMINAL ALKYNES, TRIAMIDOAMINE COMPLEXES}, isbn = {0002-7863}, url = {://000239120700063}, author = {MacKay, B.
