Synthesis and crystal structures of low-valent binuclear vanadium complexes using the tethering ligand m-xylylenebis(acetylacetonate) (m-xba2–)
Abstract
An intriguing structural type new to low-valent vanadium chemistry and the binucleating ligand m-H2xba is exhibited by the reported VIII dimers and the first structurally characterized bis(acetylacetonate) ligated complex of VII.
