Abstract
(Imido)vanadium(V)−alkyl, alkylidene complexes containing an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, V(CHSiMe3)(NR)(CH2SiMe3)(NHC) [R = 1-adamantyl (Ad) or 2,6-Me2C6H3 (Ar), NHC = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene], have been prepared from the trialkyl analogues, V(NR)(CH2SiMe3)3, by α-hydrogen elimination in C6D6 in the presence of NHC. The V−C(NHC) bond distance [2.172(2) A] in V(CHSiMe3)(NAd)(CH2SiMe3)(NHC) is much longer than the V−C(alkylidene) [1.829 A] and the V−C(alkyl) [2.069 A] distances, indicating that NHC plays an important role in the stabilization of the high-oxidation-state vanadium(V)−alkylidene as a neutral carbene ligand.
