title: Tetra-butyl-ammonium bis-[4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-(3,7-dimethyl-1H-4,2,1-benzothiaza-siline-1,1-di-yl)dibenzene-thiol-ato]vanadium(III) acetonitrile tetra-solvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [N(C(4)H(9))(4)][V(C(23)H(21)NS(3)Si)(2)]·4CH(3)CN, the V(III) atom (site symmetry ) is coordinated by two N,S,S'-tridentate 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-(3,7-dimethyl-1H-4,2,1-benzothiaza-siline-1,1-di-yl)dibenzene-thiol-ate ligands in a distorted trans-VN(2)S(4) octa-hedral geometry. The complete cation is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the V atom lying on the rotation axis. The unusual ligand arose from nucleophilic attack on the coordinated nitrile by the thiol-ate precursor and reduction of nitrile to the imidate.
