Amide routes starting from either Ta(NMe2)5 or (C2B9H11)Ta(NMe2)3 have been employed to synthesize the first tantalasilsesquioxanes including the half-sandwich complex Cy7Si7O12Ta(NMe2)2 (3, Cy = c-C6H11), the anionic sandwich complex [H2NMe2][Ta(Cy7Si7O 12)2] (4) as well as the novel mixed-sandwich complex Cy7Si7O12Ta(C2B9H 11) (5) with the latter being the first example of a carborane/silsesquioxane hybrid compound.
