Abstract
The reaction of barium with tantalum under a stream of nitrogen at 122 3 K is conducted in a tantalum crucible, and the melt is quenched to r oom temperature to yield the title compound. The structure of its anio nic portion consists of isolated [TaVN4]- tetrahedra, nitride ions. an d azide ions. Under the given reaction conditions elemental nitrogen a ppears to be reduced to nitride via the azide.
