HIGHLY REDUCED ORGANOMETALLICS - 42 - A NEW METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESES OF [V(CO)(6)](-) AND [V(PF3)(6)](-) INVOLVING ANTHRACENIDE MEDIATED REDUCTIONS OF VCL3(THF)(3)
Mv. Barybin et al., HIGHLY REDUCED ORGANOMETALLICS - 42 - A NEW METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESES OF [V(CO)(6)](-) AND [V(PF3)(6)](-) INVOLVING ANTHRACENIDE MEDIATED REDUCTIONS OF VCL3(THF)(3), Inorganica Chimica Acta, 269(1), 1998, pp. 58-62
A new mild (0 degrees C, 1 atm P) and high yield (70%) synthesis of [V
(CO)(6)](-) by the sodium anthracenide mediated reductive carbonylatio
n of VCl3(THF)(3) is presented. This same procedure is also shown to p
rovide the first conventional, non-photolytic route to [V(PF3)(6)](-),
a remarkably stable substance. Corresponding sodium naphthalenide red
uctions provide much lower yields of these vanadates. (C) 1998 Elsevie
