title: Dichloro(isopropylamido)bis(isopropylamine)(isopropylimido)tantalum(V), a monomeric TaV compound with imido, amido and amino moieties.
abstract: The title compound, [Ta(C(3)H(7)N)(C(3)H(8)N)Cl(2)(C(3)H(9)N)(2)], is the first monomeric example of a metal complex that features imido, amido and amino moieties in the same molecule. The Ta atom has distorted octahedral coordination, with the imido moiety trans to chlorine and the pseudo-axial ligands bent away from the imido moiety. Principal dimensions include Ta=N = 1.763 (8) A, Ta-N(H) = 1.964 (7) A, and Ta-N(H(2)) = 2.247 (7) and 2.262 (7) A.
