Abstract

The monosolvate (MeCN) of niobium(V) chloride has been structurally characterized. The metal is six coordinate with a somewhat distorted octahedral geometry in which the four equatorial chlorine atoms are coplanar but are clearly bent towards the bound axial acetonitrile ligand, mean N_ax-Nb-Cl_eq 83.62(12)°. The Nb-Cl bond distances lie in the range 2.249(2)-2.319(2) Å and the metal to ligand distance, Nb - N, is 2.236(4) Å.
