Infobox references

Tantalum(V) iodide is the inorganic compound with the formula Ta2I10. Its name comes from the compound's empirical formula, TaI5.[2] It is a diamagnetic, black solid that hydrolyses readily. The compound adopts an edge-shared bioctahedral structure, which means that two TaI5 units are joined by a pair of iodide bridges. There is no bond between the Ta centres.[3] Niobium(V) chloride, niobium(V) bromide, niobium(V) iodide, tantalum(V) chloride, and tantalum(V) bromide all share this structural motif.

Synthesis and structure

Tantalum pentaiodide forms from the reaction of tantalum pentoxide with aluminium triiodide:[4]

3 Ta2O5 + 10 AlI3 → 6 TaI5 + 5 Al2O3
