Abstract: Single crystals of Ta4S9Br8 are obtained by heating Ta, S, and Br2 and the structure is determined by X-ray analysis consisting of molecular clusters [Ta4(mu4-S)(mu-S2)4Br8]. The compound is soluble in CH3CN, giving a dark-red solution with a characteristic electronic spectrum, which is assigned on the basis of DFT calculations.
