Zwitterionic tantalocene derivatives are formed when the perfluorophenyl-substituted borane B(C6F5)3 is reacted with the tantalocene methyl methylidene complexes Cp′2Ta(double bond CH2)(CH3) (Cp′ = C5H5, C5H4Me). The products arise from borane attack of the methylidene ligand and are characterized by a strong, ground-state α-agostic interaction, and insertion of tert-butyl isocyanide occurs exclusively into the agostic Ta-C bond, producing iminoacyl zwitterions.
