VC14 Vanadium chloride

It is worth noting here that in contradiction to the data published by Bradley [227] on the formation of VC12(0R)2 alkoxide chlorides on alcoholysis of VC14 his reaction was proved to yield VOCl2 nROH as the major products [607, 1634]. To avoid this reaction, the vanadium chloride should be introduced as an ether solution into the reaction with NaOR for the preparation of vanadium (IV) alkoxides. 

Vanadous Chloride, vanadium trichloride, VC13.—This halide is obtained by the action of hydrogen chloride on finely divided vanadium at 300° to 400° C.,e or by heating vanadium tetrachloride to 140° C. in a current of carbon dioxide, which removes the chlorine formed at the same time. It can be conveniently made also by boiling vanadium oxy-trichloride, VOCl3, vanadium tetrachloride, VC14, or a mixture of both, with sulphur, under reflux. The reactions involved axe 7... 

Hypovanadic Chloride, vanadium tetrachloride, VC14, can be prepared synthetically from the lower chloride, VC13, by heating in a stream of chlorine at 600° C. Another convenient method consists in passing dry chlorine over ferrovanadium contained in a hard glass tube heated in a combustion furnace. The reaction is expressed ...
