Abstract
Treatment of mer-VCl3(THF)3 with KTp* [Tp* = hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate], followed by tetraethylammonium cyanide, affords [NEt4][Tp*VIII(CN)3]·H2O (1); subsequent air exposure affords [NEt4][Tp*VIV(O)(CN)2] (2). Treatment of 2 with MnII(OTf)2 (OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate) and 2,2‘-bipyridine affords the rectangular cluster {[Tp*VIV(O)(CN)2]2[MnII(bipy)2]2[OTf]2}·2MeCN (3). Magnetic studies indicate that 1−3 exhibit S = 1, 1/2, and 4 spin ground states, respectively.
