title: Insertion and reduction chemistry of isocyanide with a cyclometalated ditantalum hydride complex.
abstract: Reaction of a ditantalum hydride complex with isocyanide is reported. The hydride complex underwent single and double isocyanide insertion into Ta-H bonds, giving iminoformyl and imine-iminoacyl complexes. The transformation of the iminoformyl complex into the amido-carbyne complex was also observed.
