A macrocyclic binuclear vanadium(III) complex with di-µ-alkoxo bridging and pentagonal-bipyramidal metal co-ordination. X-Ray crystal structure of [V2L(H2O)4][ClO4]4·2H2O (H2L = 1,7,14,20-tetramethyl-2,6,15,19-tetra-aza[7,7](2,6)-pyridinophane-4,7-diol)
Abstract
The synthesis and structure of a macrocyclic binuclear vanadium(III) complex are described; complex (1) contains a planar di-µ-alkoxo bridging moiety and displays seven-co-ordinate pentagonal bipyramidal geometry around each VIII.
