Synthesis and reactions of beta-diketiminato divanadium(I) inverted-sandwich complexes.
Reduction of VCl(2)(Nacnac) (Nacnac = HC(C(Me)NC(6)H(3)-iPr(2))(2)) with KC(8) in toluene leads to the formation of a toluene-bridged inverted-sandwich divanadium(I) complex, (mu-eta(6):eta(6)-C(7)H(8))[V(Nacnac)](2), which behaves as a source of V(Nacnac) and a multi-electron reductant in the two reactions studied in this report.
