S. Arrowsmith et al., THE PREPARATION AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF A SALT WITH THE [(VO2(O(2)CME))(4)(NO3)] MONOANION, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (6), 1995, pp. 627-627
Acetonitrile is oxidised to acetate by vanadium(v) oxide trinitrate in
the presence of tetraphenylarsonium chloride and the crystal structur
e of the main reaction product, (C6H5)(4)As[V4O8(O(2)CMe)4(NO3)] 1, is
solved; the anion consists of a tetravanadium(v) crown containing a g
uest nitrate group in a mu 4 mode.
