title: Four-electron reduction of dinitrogen during solution disproportionation of the organodimetallic (eta-C5Me4R)2Ta2(mu-Cl)4(R = Me, Et) to a new mu-eta1,eta1-N2 complex and odd-electron organotrimetallic cluster.
abstract: (C5Me5R)2Ta2Cl4 (d2-d2) disproportionates under dinitrogen to [(C5Me4R)TaCl2]2(mu-N2) and the D3h cluster cation (C5Me4R)3Ta3(mu-Cl)6+ with anionic (C5Me4R)TaCl4-.
