The tris(norbornane-exo-2,3-dithiolate) complexes of Nbv and Tav, [A][M(ndt)3] (A = Ph4P+, Et4N+, n-Bu4N+), have been synthesized and fully characterized. These tris-chelate complexes can have two unique geometrical forms, synclastic and anticlastic, due to the unsymmetric nature of the ndt ligand in the direction perpendicular to the MS2 coordination plane, and existence of such isomers has been established by the X-ray derived structures of [Ph4P][Ta(ndt)3] (2a) (synclastic) and
