A zigzag chain structure of a 3-thiapentane-1,5-dithiolato vanadium complex linked by lithium ions
Abstract
The homoleptic 3-thiapentane-1,5-dithiolato vanadium(III) complex [Li(thf)][V(tpdt)2]1 is synthesized and structurally characterized which reveals that 1 has an intriguing zigzag chain structure in the solid state where lithium cations bridge the tpdt sulfurs.
