Similar oxidation of (η5-C5H5)2MCl2 with 0.5 mol of halogen gives (η5-C5H5)2MCl2X complexes, but if the halogen is used in excess cationic [η5-C5H5)2MCl2]+ X3− (X = Br, I; M = Ta and X = I, M = Nb) are obtained. All these complexes can also be obtained simultaneously by oxidizing (η5-C5H5)4M2Cl3, and the separation is fairly easy in most cases. Conductivity and IR and NMR data are discussed.
