Abstract

The existence of VXn+ (X = O, S, Se; n = 0, 1, 2) ions and their tetrachloro complexes, [VXCl4]m− (m = 4, 3, 2), has been probed using iterative extended-Huckel molecular orbital (EHMO) calculations. The EHMO results indicate that all of the species are expected to exist (a few species are already known). Calculated stability decreases in the sequence O > S > Se and with increasing charge on the [VXCl4]m− complex ion. Calculated properties and energy level sequences have been compared with those of the known [VOCl4(H2O)]2− ion and related species.
