Abstract

The reactions of V^V^O(O‐__i__Pr)~3~ with [PS3′]H~3~ and [PS3]H~3~ {[PS3′]H~3~ = P(C~6~H~3~‐5‐Me‐2‐SH)~3~, [PS3]H~3~ = P(C~6~H~4~‐2‐SH)~3~} led to the formation of [V^IV^(L)] [L = P2S4′ (1a), P2S4 (1b)], where L was formed by the oxidative coupling of two PS3′ or PS3 ligands by a disulfide bond. When the reaction of V^V^O(O‐__i__Pr)~3~ with [PS3′]H~3~ was conducted in the presence of methoxide followed by the addition of a cation, [V^IV^(PS3′)(PS2S^Me^′)]X [X = N(C~2~H~5~)~4~ (2a), N(C~2~H~5~)~3~(CH~2~Ph) (2b)] was isolated, where PS2S^Me^′ is a bis(benzenethiolato)phenylmethylthioetherphosphane ligand generated from the methylation of one thiolate group in PS3′. The structures of complexes 1a,b and 2a,b, determined by X‐ray crystallography, contain six‐ and seven‐coordinate non‐oxo vanadium(IV) centers, respectively, with an octahedral geometry for 1a,b and a pentagonal‐bipyramidal geometry for 2a,b. The electronic, magnetic, and electrochemical properties of these complexes were determined by UV/Vis and EPR spectroscopy, SQUID measurements, and cyclic voltammetry. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
