“…Despite the small distortion of the octahedron, all Ta--CI distances are identical (2.448 _+0.001 A) within the precision of the structure determination. Six methanol molecules are connected to the anion via O(1)...H(9)--O(2) hydrogen bonds [O(1)...O(2) = 2.684 (15)/~], as similarly observed in the structure of (CIsH36NzO6Na)z[Mo6CIs(CH30)6].-6CH3OH, which contains an [Mo6Cls(CH30)6] zanion (Perchenek & Simon, 1993). The anionic unit is, in certain details, e.g.…”
