Introduction to the NS3 Site

We have explored the chemistry of the simple tripodal ligand (N[CH2CH-

We have made several other V complexes by displacing the hydrazine ligand in [V(N2H4)(NS3)] with Cl , N3 CN , MeCN or CNBu , and have prepared a series of imido-complexes [V(NAr)(NS3)] (Ar = various substituted phenyl groups), and of hydrazido-complexes [V(NNR R )(NS3)] (R R = methyl or phenyl) from reactions of [V(0)(NS3)] with aryl isocyanates or 1,1-disubstituted hydrazines, respectively. Structural studies on several of these compounds always reveal trigonal bipyramidal coordination about the V atom. The V-N distance in the V(NS3) system, as a result of the shape of the NS3, is sensitive to
