Darstellung und Struktur der Zweikernigen tert-Butyliminovanadium(IV)-Komplexe [(μ?NtC4H9)2V2(CH2CMe3)2X2] (X = OtC4H9, CH2CMe3)

Synthesis and Molecular Structure of the Binuclear tert-Butyliminovanadium(IV) Complexes (μ-N^tC₄H₉)₂V₂(CH₂CMe₃)₂X₂] (X = O^tC₄H₉, CH₂CMe₃) Syntheses of the neopentylvanadium(V) compounds ^tC₄H₉N?V(CH₂CMe₃)_3?n(O^tC₄H₉)_n (n = 0 ( 7 ), 1 ( 6 ), 2) are described. 6 and 7 decompose by irradiation splitting off neopentane and yielding the binuclear diamagnetic neopentylvanadium(IV) complexes (μ-N^tC₄H₉)₂V₂(CH₂CMe₃)₂X₂] X = O^tC₄H₉ ( 8 ), CH₂CMe₃ ( 11 )]. All compounds obtained are characterized by ¹H and ⁵¹V NMR spectroscopy. 8 has been found by X-ray diffraction analysis to be a binuclear complex with bridging tert-butylimino ligands and a vanadium—vanadium single bond. The complexes ^tC₄H₉N?V(CH₂C₆H₅)(O^tC₄H₉)₂ and (μ-N^tC₄H₉)₂V₂(CH₂SiMe₃)₂(O^tC₄H₉)₂] ( 10 ) have been also prepared; the crystal structure of 8 and 10 are nearly identical.
