Abstract

AbstractThe reaction of 2‐methoxyethanol or (2‐methoxyethanolato)lithium with VOCl3 yields the chloro‐bridged dinuclear complex [VOCl2(OCH2CH2OCH3)]2, which has been characterised spectroscopically and structurally by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. This is the first reported structure of a neutral dinuclear oxovanadium complex connected by bridging chloro ligands. The orange complex is a precatalyst for the polymerisation of ethene and the oligomerisation of styrene. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
