Popis: The Cβ–Cβ bond fission of a tantallacyclopentadiene moiety bridged over low-valent Ta(V)–Ta(III) dinuclear tantalum complex 2, having an infinite structure, was facilitated by the coordination of 1,10-phenanthroline (PHEN) to give a doubly η2-alkyne-bridged ditantalum complex (phen)Cl2Ta(μ,η2-C2Et2)2TaCl2(phen) (8), while the corresponding high oxidation Ta(V)–Ta(V) complex, Cl2Ta(μ,η4-C4Et4)(μ-Cl)TaCl3 (1), afforded Cl3Ta(μ,η4-C4Et4)(μ-Cl)TaCl2(phen) (7) with an intact metallacyclopentadiene structure. Characterization of 2 was confirmed by isolating a DME adduct 9 derived from a mixture of complex 2 and DME. In contrast, no Cβ–Cβ bond cleavage was observed for azine-coordinated ditantalum complexes 5 and 6 as well as their reduced species: PHEN was found to be essentially required for the transformation of the tantallacyclopentadiene.
