Reactivity Studies of a Masked Three‐Coordinate Vanadium(II) Complex

Abstract

An arene interaction can mask a low-valent and low-coordinate VII complex, [(nacnac)V(Ntol2)] (see structure), which allows for facile coordination of terminal ligands on the vanadium center. Small-molecule activation by this S=3/2 complex provides facile access to a wide range of ligand frameworks such as terminal VIV imido, VIV cyclopropene, VV nitride, and the first VV cyclo-P3 complex (see scheme).
