(Carbazol-9-ido-κN)di-chlorido-(η⁵:η¹-2,3,4,5-tetra-methyl-penta-fulvene)tantalum(V).

ABSTRACT: The reaction of (η⁵:η¹-2,3,4,5-tetra-methyl-penta-fulvene)tantalum(V) dicarbazolide chloride (1) with etheric HCl results in the formation of the title compound (2), [Ta(C₁₀H₁₄)(C₁₂H₈N)Cl₂]. The Ta^V atom has a distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment in a three-legged piano-stool fashion. The conformation of the penta-fulvene exocyclic C atom to the three other ligands is staggered and not eclipsed, as found in the crystal structure of 1. Inter-molecular inter-actions include π-π stacking, H⋯π inter-actions and weak C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
