Dinuclear niobium(III), tantalum(III) and tantalum(IV) complexes with thioether and selenoether ligands

Magnesium reduction of MCl5 (M = Nb or Ta) in the presence of R2S (R = Me or nBu) affords the complexes [M2Cl4(R2S)2(?-Cl)2(?-R2S)]. The X-ray structures of those complexes where M = Nb or Ta, R = nBu2S, and of a new polymorph of [Ta2Cl4(Me2S)2(?-Cl)2(?-Me2S)], show that they have confacial bi-octah...
