Trichlorobis trimethylamine vanadium III

The two accessible spin-allowed ligand field bands occur at essentially the same frequency both in solution and for the solid complex (as determined from diffuse reflectance spectral measurements). Thus the solid complex is also correctly formulated as [V(i-PrOH)4Cl2]Cl. The magnetic moment of the crystalline material is 2.71 B.M. at 300°K and falls to 2.50 B.M. at 80°K, as expected, for an octahedrally coordinated vanadium(III) species with nonequivalent ligands.4

The recent interest in five coordination1 has led to an intensive study of a number of transition-metal complexes which appear from their stoichiometry to contain a five-coordinate metal atom. Whereas most of this effort has been focused on the later transition elements, certain key complexes of titanium, vanadium, 

Trichlorobis (trimethylamine) vanadium(III) is a light mauve solid which is extremely sensitive to both moisture and oxygen. It is isostructural with TiCl3-2N(CH3)3 and CrCl3-2N(CH3)3 the latter has been shown3 by x-ray diffraction methods to be trigonal bipyramidal with the two trimethylamine molecules
