Among reduced ternary transition metal oxides, tantalates are rare, even though interesting electronic properties might be expected. Here, the authors report on new reduced alkaline earth tantalates Ca{sub 2}Ta{sub 2}O{sub 6}F, Sr{sub 3{minus}x}Ta{sub 5}O{sub 15}, and Ba{sub 2}Ta{sub 15}O{sub 32} grown under vacuum conditions and high temperatures. These reduced ternary tantalates are isostructural with known reduced ternary niobates, indicating a strong similarity of the crystal chemistry between the two systems.
