Vanadium, niobium, and tantalum hexacarbonylmetalate(-I) derivatives of several heterocyclic nitrogen bases, RnB[M(CO)6]n (R = H, Me; n = 1, 2), have been synthesized. In some cases an electron transfer from the hexacarbonylmetalate to the protonated or methylated BRnn+ cation has been observed. Pyridinium halides react with Na[M(CO)6] (M = Nb, Ta) in the presence of 1 equiv of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (diphos) to give high yields of the halo tetracarbonyl derivatives MX(CO)4(diphos). The red-orange TaI(CO)4(diphos) complex has been studied by X-ray diffraction methods. Crystal data: space group P21/n; Mr 818.3; a = 14.864 (10) ?, b = 9.875 (7) ?, c = 19.335 (13) ?; β = 105.61 (2)°; U = 2733 (3) ?3; Z = 4; Dcalcd = 1.988 g cm-3; F(000) = 1568; μ(Mo Kα) = 52.4 cm-1. The geometry of the seven-coordinate tantalum atom is best described as a capped trigonal prism with the iodide ligand in the capping position. By reaction of Na[Ta(CO)6] with 1 equiv of hydrogen chloride and diphos in toluene, the hydride TaH(CO)4(diphos) has been isolated in good yield.
