Tantalum chloride, also known as tantalum pentachloride, is an inorganic compound with the formula TaCl5. It takes the form of a white powder and is commonly used as a starting material in tantalum chemistry. It readily hydrolyzes to form tantalum oxychloride and eventually tantalum pentoxide ; this requires that it be synthesised and manipulated under anhydrous conditions, using air-free techniques.
