Popis: Nb2Cl6(THT)3, THT=tetrahydrothiophene, reacts with excess tetramethylammonium acetate to give an ionic Nb(III) complex, (NMe4)[Nb2Cl2(THT)(CH3CO2)5]·CH2Cl2. The compound has been characterized by NMR, IR, cyclic voltammetry and X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in an orthorhombic space group P212121 with a=11.326(3) A, b=11.857(4) A, c=24.343(6) A, V=3269(3) A3 and Z=4. The NbNb distance is equal to 2.764(1) A which together with the diamagnetism of the complex indicates a double metal-metal bond. The acetato ligands coordinate in three different modes: bridging bidentate, chelating and bridging unidentate.
