The synthesis and structural characterization of new tantalum(V) compounds containing a single hydrazido(I) ligand are reported. Hydrazinolysis of TaCl(NMe₂)₄ using trimethylsilyl(dimethyl)hydrazine affords the compound TaCl(NMe₂)₃[N(TMS)NMe₂] in essentially quantitative yield. Metathetical replacement of the chloride ligand in TaCl(NMe₂)₃[N(TMS)NMe₂] by LiNMe₂ gives the all-nitrogen coordinated compound Ta(NMe₂)₄[N(TMS)NMe₂]. VT ¹H NMR studies support the existence of low-energy pathways involving rotation about the Ta–N bonds of the ancillary amido and hydrazido ligands in both hydrazido-substituted compounds. X-ray crystallographic analyses confirm the octahedral disposition about the tantalum metal in TaCl(NMe₂)₃[N(TMS)NMe₂] and Ta(NMe₂)₄[N(TMS)NMe₂] and the presence of an η²-hydrazido(I) ligand. Preliminary data using Ta(NMe₂)₄[N(TMS)NMe₂] as an ALD precursor for the preparation of tantalum nitride and tantalum oxide thin films are presented.

The three species have very similar properties resulting always in co-crystals such as [NMe₄]₇[HNi_42+2xC₈(CO)_44+2x(CuCl)_1?x]·6.5MeCN (x = 0.14) (86% [HNi₄₂C₈(CO)₄₄(CuCl)]^7?, 14%[HNi₄₃C₈(CO)₄₅]^7?/[HNi₄₄C₈(CO)₄₆]^7?) and [NMe₄]₇[HNi_42+2xC₈(CO)_44+2x(CuCl)_1?x]·5.5MeCN (x = 0.30) (70% [HNi₄₂C₈(CO)₄₄(CuCl)]^7?, 30% [HNi₄₃C₈(CO)₄₅]^7?/[HNi₄₄C₈(CO)₄₆]^7?). The new homo-metallic octa-carbides can be obtained free from the Ni–Cu octa-carbido cluster by reacting [Ni₁₀(C₂)(CO)₁₆]^2? in thf with a stoichiometric amount of CuCl, and crystals of [NMe₄]₆[H₂Ni_43+xC₈(CO)_45+x]·6MeCN (x = 0.72), which contain [H₂Ni₄₄C₈(CO)₄₆]^6? (72%) and [H₂Ni₄₃C₈(CO)₄₅]^6? (28%), have been obtained. Despite the different charges and compositions, these anions display almost identical structures, which are also closely related to those previously reported for the bimetallic Ni–Cd octa-carbido clusters [Ni_42+xC₈(CO)_44+x(CdCl)]^7? and [HNi_42+xC₈(CO)_44+x(CdBr)]^6?. Indeed, all these clusters are based on the same Ni₄₂C₈ cage decorated by miscellaneous [CdX]⁺ (X = Cl, Br), [CuCl] and [Ni(CO)] fragments.

Structural Studies on some Iodoantimonate and Iodobismuthate Anions

The reaction between BiI₃ and two equivalents of dmpu (dmpu = N,N′-dimethylpropylene urea) in thf (tetrahydrofuran) or toluene affords dark red crystals of the complex [Bi(dmpu)₆][Bi₃I₁₂] which was characterised by X-ray crystallography and consists of octahedral [Bi(dmpu)₆]³⁺ cations and [Bi₃I₁₂]^3? anions both with 3 symmetry.

[CH₂?C(C₆H₄-4-NO₂)CH₂NMe₃]I and one equivalent of SbI₃ afforded the orange crystalline complex [CH₂?C(C₆H₄-4-NO₂)CH₂NMe₃]₃[Sb₂I₉] an X-ray crystallographic study of which revealed a face-shared bioctahedral [Sb₂I₉]^3? anion similar to that present in [C₅NH₆]₂[H(dmpu)₂][Sb₂I₉]. Four equivalents of BiI₃ and [CH₂?C(C₆H₄-4-NO₂)CH₂NMe₃]I afforded the complex [CH₂?C(C₆H₄-4-NO₂)CH₂NMe₃]₃[Bi₃I₁₂], the [Bi₃I₁₂]^3? anion being essentially identical to that encountered in [Bi(dmpu)₆][Bi₃I₁₂]. [CH₃(CH₂)₂COS(CH₂)₂NMe₃]I and four equivalents of SbI₃ yielded orange crystals of the complex [CH₃(CH₂)₂COS(CH₂)₂NMe₃]₄[Sb₈I₂₈] which was also characterised by X-ray crystallography and shown to contain a new structural type of [E₈X₂₈]^4? anion (E = As, Sb, Bi; X = halide).
