Complex formation between dimethyl sulfide, diethyl sulfide, and tetrahydrothiophen and niobium pentachloride and pentabromide, and tantalum pentachloride, pentabromide, and pentaiodide was studied. The following crystalline 1: 1 complexes were isolated, and their compositions established by analysis and vapor pressure measurements: NbCl/sub 5/, Me/sub 2/S; NbBr/sub 5/, Me/sub 2/S; TaCl/sub 5/,Me/sub 2/S; TaBr/sub 5/,Me/sub 2/S(mp 108 deg ); NbCl/sub 5/,Et/sub 2/S(mp approximates 17 deg ); TaCl/sub 5/,Et/sub 2/S (liquid)-all of which distilled or sublimed unchangedand NbBr/sub 5/,Et/sub 2/S, TaBr/sub 5/Et/ sub 2/S, and TaI/sub 5/, Et/sub 2/S which decomposed on heating into their original components. There was also some evidence for TaCl/sub 5/2Me/sub 2/S, melting incongruently at about 15 deg . The halides are more soluble in the sulfides than in diethyl ether, and the oomplexes more stable. There is very little splitting of the sulfide on heating. Tetrahydrothiophen formed 1: 2 complexes: NbCl/sub 5/,2STACH/sub 2!/sub 4/S,NbBr/sub 5/,2STACH/sub 2/!/sub 4/S, TaCl/sub 5/,2STACH/sub 2/!/sub 4/S,TaBr/sub 5/,2STACH/sub 2/!/sub 4/S, and TaI/ sub 5/,2STACH/sub 2/!/sub 4/S. Except for TaI/sub 5/,2STACH/ sub 2!/sub 4/S these were insoluble in tetrahydrothiophen. (auih)
