Preparation and characterization of [V3Cl5(tmeda)3][V(NPh2)4](tmeda =N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine): a VII–VIII mixed valence complex
Abstract
Reaction of trans-[VCl2(tmeda)2](tmeda =N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) with an excess of NaNPh2 led to the formation of the VII–VIII mixed-valence species [V3Cl5(tmeda)3][V(NPh2)4], through an unusual disproportionation reaction.
