The title compounds, -oxido-bis[(tert-butylselenolato)bis(5-cyclopentadienyl)niobium(IV)] toluene solvate, [Nb2(C5H5)4(C4H9Se)2O]·C7H8, and -selenido-bis[(tert-butylselenolato)bis(5-cyclopentadienyl)niobium(IV)], [Nb2(C5H5)4(C4H9Se)2Se], consist of niobium(IV) centres each bonded to two 5-coordinated cyclopentadienyl groups and one tert-butylselenolate ligand and are the first organometallic niobium selenolates to be structurally characterized. A bridging oxide or selenide completes the niobium coordination spheres of the discrete dinuclear molecules. In the oxide, the O atom lies on an inversion centre, resulting in a linear Nb-O-Nb linkage, whereas the selenide has a bent bridging group [Nb-Se-Nb = 139.76 (2)°]. The difference is attributable to strong bonding in the oxide case, although the effects on the Nb-C and Nb-SetBu bond lengths are small.

Abstract
The title compounds, -oxido-bis[(tert-butylselenolato)bis(5-cyclopentadienyl)niobium(IV)] toluene solvate, [Nb2(C5H5)4(C4H9Se)2O]·C7H8, and -selenido-bis[(tert-butylselenolato)bis(5-cyclopentadienyl)niobium(IV)], [Nb2(C5H5)4(C4H9Se)2Se], consist of niobium(IV) centres each bonded to two 5-coordinated cyclopentadienyl groups and one tert-butylselenolate ligand and are the first organometallic niobium selenolates to be structurally characterized. A bridging oxide or selenide completes the niobium coordination spheres of the discrete dinuclear molecules. In the oxide, the O atom lies on an inversion centre, resulting in a linear Nb-O-Nb linkage, whereas the selenide has a bent bridging group [Nb-Se-Nb = 139.76 (2)°]. The difference is attributable to strong bonding in the oxide case, although the effects on the Nb-C and Nb-SetBu bond lengths are small.
