Abstract

The reactions of tBuN = VCl2 · DME with LiX (X = NHtBu, NR2, OSiPh3, SR, Alkyl, Cp) have been studied. LiNHtBu and LiCH3 furnish the binuclear diamagnetic tert-butylimido-vanadium( IV) compounds [(μ-NtBu)2V2X4]; in all other cases only the vanadium(V) compounds tBuN=VX3 and tBuN=VCpCl2 formed by disproportionation reactions of vanadium(IV) can be isolated. The syntheses of various mononuclear amido tert-butylimido-vanadium(V) complexes as well as of the binuclear complexes [μ-NtBu)2V2(NtBu)2Cl2] and [(μ-0)V2(NtBu)2Cp2Cl2] are also described. All compounds obtained have been characterized by 51V NMR spectroscopy. tBuN=V(OMe)3 was investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis; the molecular structure has been found to be that of a binuclear vanadium(V) complex with two bridging methoxo ligands.
