- Abstract
By partial oxidation of a solution of (Ta6Cl12) Cl2ž6 EtOH in n-butyl cyanide (n-BuCN) reddish crystals of the title compound were formed. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The double salt components [(Ta6Cl12)Cl3(n-BuCN)3] and [(Ta6Cl12)Cl4(n-BuCN)2] are of Cs and C2h symmetry, respectively. The structure consists of layers formed by the intergrown one-dimensional chains of the different cluster components. The crystal structure analysis and UV spectra revealed differently charged cluster entities, namely [Ta6Cl12]3+ and [Ta6 Cl12]4+ in [(Ta6Cl12) Cl3(n-BuCN)3] and [(Ta6Cl12) Cl4(n-BuCN)2], respectively.
