    Abstract:
    The first part of the thesis is mainly devoted to the mechanism of a C-H activation reaction by a niobium complex. The mechanism of C-H bond activation of benzene by the TpMe2NbCH3-(c-C3H5)-(MeCCMe) complex was rationalized. The key intermediate is an unusual 2-cyclopropene complex. We rationalized the selectivities obtained for the activation of several alkylaromatics by the 2-cyclopropene niobium complex. The intriguing role of the alkyne ligand of the same complex, and its possible role in the migration processes, was investigated. In the second part of the thesis, we focused on the silicon based cross-coupling. The results suggest than the transmetalation is easier after phosphine dissociation, and in presence of the bromide ligand on the palladium. The beneficial effect of dibenzylideneacetone on the coupling was clarified.
