The remarkable new compound NaNb 3 O 5 F is formed on annealing NaF, Nb powder, and Nb 2 O 5 . According to an X‐ray structure analysis, Nb is present in the +4 and +2 oxidation states. The Nb 2⊕ ions form pairs and a structural group (with eight surrounding O‐atoms) as is observed in [Re 2 Cl 8 ] 2⊕ . The short d (NbNb) distance of 261.4 pm (observed for the first time in the case of Nb) is explained in terms of a triple bond. This Nb 2 dumbbell is coordinated fourfold “side‐on” by the Nb 4⊕ ions.
