Early transition metal hydride complexes: synthesis and reactivity

Abstract This review describes the synthesis and reactivity studies of early metal (Sc, Y, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta) hydride compounds that have appeared over the last 10 years. Every attempt has been made to be comprehensive from 1990 to mid-2001. Complexes reported prior to 1990 have not been discussed. It should also be noted that related subjects that have been recently reviewed including the organic chemistry applications, polyhydride clusters, silica supported Groups 4 and 5 transition metal hydrides and hydride bridged heterobimetallic complexes have been excluded.
