Notizen: Substitution of CO for CN— in Cyclopentadienyl Carbonyl Vanadium Compounds

Abstract

UV irradiation of [Me₄N][VCp(CO)₃] and [Me₄N]CN results in the formation of a complex with zero-valent vanadium which possibly has to be formulated as [Me₄N]₄[CpV(CO)₂CN]2. A new method of preparation of K[CpV(CO)₃CN] is described; ⁵¹V NMR results and a complete IR spectrum are presented and discussed.
