Tantalum(V) fluoride complexes of thio- and seleno-ether ligands and a comparison with the TaX5 (X=Cl or Br) analogues

Reaction of TaF5 with SMe2 and RS(CH2)2SR (R = Me, Et or iPr) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 solution produce colourless, extremely moisture sensitive crystals of [TaF4(SMe2)4][TaF6] and [TaF4{RS(CH2)2SR}2][TaF6] respectively, which contain eight-coordinate cations and octahedral anions, whereas TaF5 reacts wi...
