New compounds containing the triangulo-trichlorotrivanadium(II) moiety
Abstract
The complex [VCl

triangulo-trinuclear species

in solution in tetrahydrofuran
upon addition of salts of suitable counter ions. The apical
(µ

) chlorides can be replaced by methoxide, and
the tmen by diphosphines. Several related materials, all containing the
triangulo-V
3
X
3
(X = Cl or
Br) motif, were characterised by mass spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction
and other techniques. These clusters are antiferromagnetic both in
solution and in the solid state. Thermogravimetric analysis of
trans-[VCl

[V(MeOH)

similar triangulo-V

species, which
appear to be of common occurrence in vanadium(II)
chemistry.
