Vanadium ni) chloride, VCI3. Violet solid formed V plus HCl gas. VCIj bHiO formed from solution. Forms many complexes. 

Vanadium, a typical transition element, displays weU-cliaractetized valence states of 2—5 in solid compounds and in solutions. Valence states of —1 and 0 may occur in solid compounds, eg, the carbonyl and certain complexes. In oxidation state 5, vanadium is diamagnetic and forms colorless, pale yeUow, or red compounds. In lower oxidation states, the presence of one or more 3d electrons, usually unpaired, results in paramagnetic and colored compounds. All compounds of vanadium having unpaired electrons are colored, but because the absorption spectra may be complex, a specific color does not necessarily correspond to a particular oxidation state. As an illustration, vanadium(IV) oxy salts are generally blue, whereas vanadium(IV) chloride is deep red. Differences over the valence range of 2—5 are shown in Table 2. The stmcture of vanadium compounds has been discussed (6,7).

Several anionic metal carbonyl hydrides stoichiometrically convert acyl chlorides to aldehydes. The anionic vanadium complex [Cp(CO)3VH] reacts quickly with acyl chlorides, converting them to aldehydes [44]. Although no further reduction of the aldehyde to alcohol was observed, the aldehydes reacted further under the reaction conditions in some cases, so a general procedure for isolation of the aldehydes was not developed. 

The ability of vanadium(II) chloride to facilitate sulfoxide deoxygenation has been discussed (Section IV,C), and it appears that vana-dium(III) sulfoxide complexes may be prepared by air oxidation of van-adium(II) salts in the presence of the sulfoxide. In this manner, [V(Me2S0)6][C104]3 was prepared from vanadium(II) perchlorate (119) and the kinetics of substitution with thiocyanate ion detailed. Care is necessary in handling the pure compound, as it is reported to be sensitive to detonation. A large number of oxovanadium(IV) species have... 

Halides (chloride, in particular) also react promptly with surface OH groups, as has been shown for [W(=CCMe3)Cl3(dme)] and several inorganic oxides (silica, alumina, silica-alumina, niobia) [5-7]. The same was observed for the reaction of [V(=0)Cl3] with silica in this case, using a large excess of the vanadium complex, one mole of HCl is released per mole of grafted vanadium [8]. 

A similar preparative procedure was used to isolate tetrahedral complexes of bidentate donors (L = bipy or phen) [VL2](SCN)3. However, complexes of vanadium(lll) chloride or bromide with these same bidentate donors have stoichiometries depending on conditions.199 With excess of bipy or phen, complexes [VX JX were obtained. In EtOH or in MeCN two series of complexes were isolated. VC13LL (L = bipy or phen L = EtOH or MeCN) and [VC12L2]+ + [VCUL]-. In the reaction of vanadium(III) with phenanthroline202 203 or bipyridine204 there is evidence for extensive hydrolysis. Spectrophotometry was used to estimate the equilibrium constant (Kcq = 0.43) for the reaction in equation (7). 03...

The acylvanadium complex (78) is converted to the Fischer type (see Fischer-type Carbene Complexes) vanadium complex (79) on treatment with Me3+Bp4 (Scheme 42). The N-substituted carbene analog is formed from Na2[VCp(CO)3] and iminium chloride (80) as shown in... 

The ability of phosphines to act as both a metal oxidation states and as a 7r acceptor to relieve electron density from lower metal oxidation states explains, in part, the observation that diphosphines stabilize the +3, +1, and 0 oxidation states at the expense of the +2 oxidation state.870 Vanadium(II) diphosphine halides, [V(dmpe)2X2] (dmpe = dimethyl-dimethylphosphinoethane, X = Br or I), were prepared as side products in the synthesis of [XV(CO)2(dmpe)2].885 The structurally characterized diphosphino V11 tetrahydroborate complex, tra .s-[V(BH4)2(dmpe)2], (223) was synthesized via the reduction of similar vanadium(III) precursors.832 The reaction of a vanadium(II) chloride salt with dmpe afforded the tra s-[VCl2(dmpe)2] complex which can be alkylated with MeLi or MgMe2 to afford the organometallic trans-[V(Me)2(dm pcVJ compound, which in turn reacts with thiocyanate to form tnms -[V(NCS)2(dmpe)2].8 87 Acetonitrile or propionitrile readily displace the chlorides from trans- WCl2(dmpe)2] to form // tf/ ,v-[V( NCR)2(dmpc)2][BI>h4]2 (R = Me or Et) the acetonitrile derivative reacts with HCPh(S02CF3)2 in acetonitrile solvent to yield the hexaacetonitrile species [V(NCMe)6]2+.887...
