Tetrakis(dimethylamido)vanadium(IV).
The title compound, [V(C(2)H(6)N)(4)], (I), has non-crystallographic D(2d) molecular symmetry and contains an approximately tetrahedrally coordinated V atom with dimethylamido ligands. Each N atom features a nearly trigonal planar geometry. There are two independent molecules of (I) in the asymmetric unit. The results are compared with those previously reported for gas-phase electron-diffraction studies [Haaland, Rypdal, Volden & Andersen (1992). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 891-895].
