TaH5 has been predicted to have C4v symmetry, with a calculated axial H—Ta—H angle of approximately 117.5°. Using the six-step approach described in Section 5.4.2 , describe the bonding in TaH5 on the basis of matching group orbitals and central atom orbitals according to their symmetry. (See C. A. Bayse, M. B. Hall, J. Am. Chem. Soc. , 1999 , 121 , 1348.)
