Vanadium complexes incorporating the beta-diketiminato ligand L. Syntheses and structures of LV(OSO2CF3)(2) and LVPPh2

Abstract

The reaction of LLi (where L = N, N'-bis(2-diethylaminoethyl)-2,4-pentanediimine- ate(-1)) with VCl3.3THF yielded LVCl2, which was characterized by EI-MS and elemental analysis. Subsequent reactions of LVCl2 with AgOSO2CF3 and KPPh2 afforded two new complexes, LV(OSO2CF3)(2) and LVPPh2 which were characterized by F-19, P-31 NMR spectroscopy, EI-MS, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray structural analysis.
