Organometallic derivatives of N,N′-ethylene bis(acetylacetoneiminato)vanadium(III) containing a vanadium–carbon σ-bond
Abstract
The alkylation of N,N′-ethylenebis(acetylacetoneiminato)chlorovanadium(III)tetrahydrofuran, [Cl-V(acacen)(thf)]using Grignard reagents gave the corresponding organometallic derivatives [R-V(acacen)]2[R = Me, Ph, PhCH2] having a dimeric Structure, via the sharing of one of the oxygens from the Schiff base, and containing a V-C σ-bond [2.156(7)Å= PhCH2].
