The mononuclear complex (BzMe(3)N)(2)[V(mp)(3)] . MeCN . 1/2 MeOH (1) (mp =
o-SC6H4O2-) obtained by reacting VCl3 with Na(2)mp in the presence of BzMe
(3)NBr contains the synthon [V(mp)(3)](2-). Further reaction with Co-2(CO)(
8) gave [V(mp)(3)Co(Py)(2)(MeCN)] . 2MeCN (2) and [V(mp)(3)Co(DMF)(3)] (3),
depending on the recrystallization conditions. The coordination geometry o
f the V atoms in all these complexes lies between an octahedron and a trigo
nal prism. Upon formation of (2) and (3), the terminal oxo atoms of mp beco
me mu(2)-O bridges between V and Co, while the latter atom is also octahedr
