Abstract
Octahedral hexatantalum halide clusters usually exist as extended structures of the form Ta

. These clusters consist of six tantalums linked through Ta‐Ta bonding to form a Ta

octahedron, with a halide bridge along each of the 12 octahedral edges and one terminal ligand (halide, water) located apically on each tantalum. This chapter presents an extension of reduction methodology to the convenient preparation of Ta
