Abstract: The title compound, [Nb₂(-Cl)₂Cl₄(CH₃CN)₄]·2CH₃CN, is a centrosymmetric dinuclear niobium complex containing an Nb^III=Nb^III double bond [2.8577 (9) Å]. The Nb atom has a distorted octahedral coordination environment formed by two terminal Cl atoms [Nb-Cl = 2.3761 (14) and 2.3853 (15) Å], two acetonitrile ligands [Nb-N = 2.301 (4) and 2.309 (4) Å] and two -Cl atoms [Nb-Cl = 2.3356 (13) and 2.3358 (13) Å].
