Abstract
Carbon-carbon bond cleavage by a new mechanism, probably based on o-bond metathesis, is reported for a silica-supported tantalum hydride, (≡ SiO)2TaH (1). This complex, which is also able to realize alkane metathesis, catalytically cleaves the carbon-carbon bond of alkanes under mild conditions.
