For example, porous tantalum coatings are used in the construction of titanium implants due to tantalum's exceptional ability to form a direct bond to hard tissue. [74] Because tantalum is a non-ferrous, non-magnetic metal, tantalum implants are considered to be acceptable for patients undergoing MRI procedures.
Tantalum electrolytic capacitors are extensively used in electronic devices that require stable capacitance, low leakage current, and where reliability is crucial. [1] Due to its reliability, durability and performance under extreme conditions, it is used in medical equipment, [2] aerospace and military applications. [3]
Tantalum ores often contain significant amounts of niobium, which is itself a valuable metal.As such, both metals are extracted so that they may be sold. The overall process is one of hydrometallurgy and begins with a leaching step; in which the ore is treated with hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid to produce water-soluble hydrogen fluorides, such as the heptafluorotantalate.
With the addition of squarate or perchlorate, the tantalum complex dimerises in acetonitrile, with their respective chelating ligands bridging the Ta centres. These seven-coordinate complexes of the form TaMe 3 L 2 , where L is a bidentate monoanion, are markedly more thermally stable than their precursor, decomposing in the range 80 - 120°C.
Treatment of tantalum pentachloride with hexamethylbenzene (C 6 Me 6), aluminium, and aluminium trichloride gives [M(η 6-C 6 Me 6)AlCl 4] 2. [7] Tantalum-alkyne complexes [8] catalyze cyclotrimerizations. [9] [10] Some tantalum-alkyne complexes are precursors to allylic alcohols. [11] Tantalacyclopropenes are invoked as intermediates.

Tantalum(V) ethoxide is a metalorganic compound with formula Ta 2 (OC 2 H 5) 10, often abbreviated as Ta 2 (OEt) 10. It is a colorless solid that dissolves in some organic solvents but hydrolyzes readily. [3] It is used to prepare films of tantalum(V) oxide.
Tantalum arsenide is a compound of tantalum and arsenic with the formula TaAs. It is notable as being the first topological Weyl semimetal that was identified and characterized by ARPES . [ 3 ]
