Abstract

The aqueous solution chemistry of niobium is underex-plored, and well characterized aqua complexes are scarce. In this con-tribution, a new niobium aqua complex was obtained by treatment of Zn-reduced ethanolic solution of NbCl₅ with HCl in the presence of aselenide source (ZnSe). This is the first example of selenium containing aqua complex of niobium. The yellow-green aqua complex was isolated by cation-exchange chromatography and transformed into corresponding isothiocyanate complex by ligand exchange, which was crystallized as (PyH)_4.5[H_1.5Nb₄SeO₅(NCS)₁₀]·0.5H₂O. X-ray structural analysis revealed a metal-metal bonded tetranuclear{Nb₄(μ₄-Se)(μ₂-O)₅}⁴⁺core with a capping μ₄-Se ligand.
