The fluorides of niobium(V) and tantalum(V) have tetranuclear structures in the solid state, while the corresponding heavier halides are dinuclear in the solid state and mononuclear in the vapour phase: A. F. Wells, Structural Inorganic Chemistry, 5th ed., Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1993. For the sake of simplicity, in this paper the general formula MX5, when dealing with the niobium(V) and tantalum(V) halides, will be used.
