Abstract

cp2VX(NO) (cp = C5H5, X = Br, I) are fluxional molecules in which linear and bent VNO groups interconvert; the molecule with the linear VNO group necessarily contains at least one ring with less than η5-hapticity, while cp2VI(NO) decomposes in vacuo in tetrahydrofuran solution to give [(cpVI)2{cpV(NO)} 2(μ-O)4] whose X-ray crystal structure is reported.
